Lovesick swan falls in love with swan paddle boat

http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticl...ERMANY-SWAN.XML

BERLIN (Reuters) - A swan has fallen in love with a plastic swan-shaped paddle boat on a pond in the German town of Muenster and has spent the past three weeks flirting with the vessel five times its size, a sailing instructor said on Friday.

Peter Overschmidt, who operates a sailing school and rents the two-seat paddle boat on the Aasee pond, said the black swan with a bright red beak has not left the white swan boat's side since it flew in one day in early May.

"It seems like he's fallen in love," said Overschmidt. "He protects it, sits next to it all the time and chases away any sail boats that get anywhere nearby. He thinks the boat is a strong and attractive swan."

Overschmidt said the swan will figure it out sooner or later but hopes he won't be too heartbroken.

"I'll wish him all the best and hope that he doesn't make the same mistake again," said Overschmidt."

Aaw Jezzie, bless him :wub: A few years ago there was a black swan in UK all alone, his partner had died. The regular visitors to the lake were so upset about seeing him by himself they advertised for a mate. A dating agency (honest :lol: ) took up the challenge and found him a female partner.

Many people went to see the introduction and best news is that it worked :action:
