The picturesque city of Stratford, Ontario, has been stirred by a mystery involving its cherished swans. Quin Malott, the diligent parks and forestry manager, is urging the community to keep a keen eye out as five of the city’s beloved swans have gone missing.
The unusual disappearance came to light when Malott noticed the absence of the usual six majestic swans gracefully gliding on Lake Victoria in the heart of the city, a sight that residents have grown to love. Upon his return the next day, all six swans had vanished without a trace, not even a single feather left behind.
Speculations are rife as to the fate of the missing swans, with the possibility that they may have been taken, given their friendly nature towards humans who often feed them. Reports from concerned residents have surfaced, with nearly a dozen sightings of one of the elusive swans in the northern part of the city this week. Plans are underway to secure the bird’s safe return on Thursday.
Malott emphasizes that the swans, sadly, do not have tracking devices, making their search more challenging. He appeals to the public, urging anyone who spots the wandering swans to reach out to him or the city promptly.
