Chinese Swan Geese Survive Thanksgiving Holiday Without Becoming Dinner Main Course

PRESS RELEASE

Honk and Honka, Port Hueneme’s famous Chinese Swan Geese, survived the Thanksgiving holiday without being captured and cooked by hungry neighbors. The birds’ safety was of grave concern to locals who thought residents from nearby Oxnard might enter Port Hueneme to capture the birds for use in holiday meals.

Honk and Honka have been living along the Port Hueneme Bubbling Springs Green Belt for at least two years now. They are known for their loud honking, aggressive food solicitation, and occasionally striking humans with their wings.
