The disappearance of two beloved geese ruffled feathers in Allen, but fortunately, the love birds were reunited.
The birds were taken from Bethany Lakes Park, where they've lived for more than a decade, and the person who took them was caught on camera doing it.Fixtures of the park for more than a decade, Betty and Fred are domestic geese, likely left there by someone who didn't want them.“I was pissed. I was really mad,” said Bradshaw.
Photos shared on social media show a female carrying the geese out of the park Friday afternoon drew hundreds of comments over the weekend.“The wildest day I’ve ever experienced at the park, something I’ll never forget. That's for sure,” Shanks told NBC 5.“Who does this?” asked Bradshaw. The person in the pictures was identified. Betty was returned Monday afternoon but had been separated from Fred.
NBC 5 was there when he triumphantly returned to Allen, when Allen Animal Services weighed him and examined his wings, and when Fred was finally reunited with Betty, his mate for life. Because the birds are domestic geese and not a migratory species, the City of Allen said no laws were violated, and because the geese weren't injured, no charges will be filed.
