Valentine’s Day Love Story – Swans!

swan love story

The swan that fell in love with a pedal boat is back courting its plastic lover after spending the winter in a local zoo
Swans choose a partner for life but the rare Black Australian swan nicknamed Petra made the mistake of falling for a pedal boat designed to look like a swan; and when Petra’s pedal boat lover refused to fly south for the winter Petra also remained, a move that could have killed her as the cold weather arrived.
In the end though local zoo chiefs took pity on the swan and gave her and her boat boyfriend a place to spend the winter, and this week the pair were once again on the lake together. According to biologists in Muenster, north-western Germany, Petra has been circling its plastic lover, staring endlessly at it and making crooning noises, all the typical signs of a swan in love.
The boat in the meantime is still being hired out to families who want to picnic on the Aasee lake – where the star-crossed lovers have become a tourist attraction. Zoo director, Joerg Adler said, ‘This arrangement could go on forever, the swan obviously believes it has found a partner for life.’
