Yellow swan turns heads in Auckland
The Birds Auckland group has been driving past regularly to check on the male swan that was shot with a crossbow in Auckland's Western Springs.
The group painted the bird's head yellow so they can watch over its welfare.
The swan was earlier reunited with its partner and cygnet after a crossbow bolt was removed from its chest and the animal was treated with antibiotics.
If you notice any future problems with the swan, phone Birds Auckland on 09 256 7300
