The swans, which were first seen at a pier in Yau Ma Tei in early February and last in the sea off Quarry Bay on Friday, could be from a zoo in southern China, or may have escaped from a private collection, according to a bird expert.
Ma, and a group of around a dozen spectators gathered to take pictures and discuss how the birds ended up there for about half an hour, as the swans tried to find a place near the shore to land. According to the SPCA, the swans looked healthy and had no visible injuries, but appeared to be scared of people and swam away when inspectors tried to approach them.
“I do wonder what they are finding in the harbour,” he said. “Probably scavenging totally inappropriate unhealthy food types … noodles that wash down the drain and dead fish probably!”
