Hannibal the swan misbehaved.
His very own pond he craved.
He attacked other cobs,
Despite the pens’ sobs,
And generally acted depraved.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
The children might be psychologically damaged if they see ‘Hannibal’ attack another bird, according to the article. WTF? How about explaining to them where their burger or KFC comes from and a bit of swan-on-swan action will seem like a stroll in the park….(see what I did there??)
