Blanche the Swan Returns to Palace of Fine Arts; Swallowing Pennies Blamed For Zinc Poisoning The surviving swan from the Palace of Fine Arts lagoon, Blanche, was returned to her home on Tuesday after being treated at the San Francisco Zoo for several weeks for lead and zinc poisoning. Her mate, Blue Boy, died somewhat mysteriously last week while he was also at the zoo, despite not showing the same symptoms as Blanche and not seeming ill until right before his death. Both swans were found to have high levels of zinc and lead in their blood, but it remains unclear whether this contributed to Blue Boy s death a necropsy is still pending, as Rec & Parks spokesperson Tamara Aparton tells KTVU.
