City Park located in New Orleans, Louisiana is home to their own resident black swan,
Amanda Erika. Amanda was injured by at least one individual, and all six of
her eggs that she had been nesting were broken.The black swan had been taking care of her nest and eggs over several weeks. A City Park police officer called a veterinarian when he found the black swan with an injured ankle in February of 2013.
The story caused such an outrage from the public that the park extended the offer for the public to help, and they did. The City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art even offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The perpetrator still has not been caught as of yet, but the black swan has recovered .
She has been returned to the park.
