Leave it to humans to spoil something as precious as that. SURELY they could have found a slightly more discreet place to locate such a man made monstrosity!
In Kirstenbosch, the botanical gardens in the Western Cape of South Africa... there is a little pool in the shape of a bird which is located up a mountain path - "Lady Anne Barnard’s Bath" which also had legend attached to it (true or not - it was irrelevant) but people also used to throw coins into the little pool and make a wish... then, they banned people from doing that eventually because people were climbing into the pool and stealing the money lol.
Humans!
