Name Otis and Ophelia's baby!
We are very sorry to announce that Otis and Ophelia’s cygnet (baby swan) is no longer with us. While we were excited and optimistic about the cygnet’s arrival, the first few days and weeks of a young swan’s life are vulnerable. This news is unfortunate, but it will not impact Otis and Ophelia’s future as parents and we have hope for their future cygnets. Thank you everyone for your name ideas. In the future, if there is a cygnet born, we will hold a vote based on the names you sent us.
