So Many Beautiful Black Swans
Personal memory by Sarah Daley
2013 • Orlando, FL, USA
I remember when there were so many black swans in Orlando. I would walk up to one, and it would let me pet its head. Now, there are hardly any black swans, and this worries me. In addition, the swans are now aggressive. When you walk up to them, they either fly away, try to bite you or yell at you.
