PRESS RELEASE
The nest of Port Hueneme’s most famous waterfowl was destroyed recently by a reckless maniacally laughing city worker and his riding lawnmower.
Honk and Honka, two Chinese Swan Geese who live on the Bubbling Springs Waterway, humped and nested last month with several eggs in the high grass near the Civic Pavilion. Bird-loving residents had been watching the nest on a daily basis, waiting for the chicks to hatch, but were dismayed to find level ground, grass trimmings, and broken eggshells where the nest once stood, the result of aggressive greens keeping.
When confronted about the destruction of the nest, local officials promised to have their men keep a better eye out for the nests in the future.
