Swanny

23 March 2007

Gday guys, this young lady is the queen of the wetlands and her name is Swanny.
Swanny is our beautiful black swan and she has been at Australia Zoo for the last three years.
Since Swanny is a free ranging bird she likes to move around the zoo, and there are a couple of places she can be found. She can be found casualy swimming around in one of the four large wetland ponds, or going for a stroll on any of the paths that surround the wetland, but during the day your best bet to find her is sitting in the Creek, hanging out with the ducks and the kangaroo’s in grey roo heaven. At around four thirty, she will head back to the wetlands for her afternoon four thirty feed which we encourage you to come see.

So guys next time you come down to Australia Zoo be sure to keep an eye out for Swanny
