SILVERS Circus in Noble Park is mourning the loss of a feathered performer.
Donald, one of three white doves stolen from the backstage area, was found dead near the Corrigan Rd big top.
Donald’s partner, Daisy, was found badly injured last Wednesday, possibly from a run-in with a cat or dog.
Magician Simon Tait said he was somewhat relieved to have two of his little mates back.
His most experienced dove, Baldie, was handed in to a Mount Waverley pet hospital earlier in the week.
The magician said Donald may have died from shock.
He believes the theft, last Saturday week, was probably a prank that went wrong.
“I hope (people involved) are feeling a little bit responsible,” he said. “They should hang their heads and think about how they carry on a little bit - think of the repercussions.”
Mr Tait said the circus was inundated with people calling with potential sightings and information about his “little mates, and work colleagues”.
“The local community has been fabulous,” he said. “We had people ringing all week. We even have a couple of extra doves now.” http://dandenong-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/circus-mourns-a-feathered-friend-in-noble-park/
