The work of art was completed and installed to great acclaim by the town and the town's inhabitants. It became well known and as Carlos' reputation grew, so did the crowds who came to admire his artwork. For a holiday season, the town council proposed that large red ribbons be tied around the necks of the Canada geese in the lobby. It was discussed in council and approved that every year bows would be added to the sculpture to commemorate the festive season.

Unknown to Carlos, bows were tied around the geese and the ribbon ceremony was completed. A few days later, a friend mentioned to Carlos that it was interesting to see how much the bows hid the necks on the geese, making them look deformed. Carlos flew to the town hall to gaze upon his masterpiece looking like a decoration on the top of a gift parcel.

"This doesn't fly with me," he muttered.
