The animals that mate for life are so amazing to me. I'm glad she also stated they have feelings and emotions. I hate when people claim animals cannot feel anything emotionally ❣️😊

@a.w.thompson4001 Ай бұрын

I so agree about the whole feelings aspect. We're alike in many ways, so it makes no sense to think we'd be different in that way. P.S. Happily, they mate for life but if one sadly dies, the other often finds a new mate for life, rather than being alone thereafter.

@@ls-l1518 Yes, but at the time they captured the wounded swan, they didn’t know the extent of its injury. Moreover, the wound could have resulted from a parasite or illness - or it may have become infected without attention. Life out in the wild is full of stressors: Cars and trucks, competition for territory and food, predation by dogs, foxes and the like. It’s not as though wildlife enjoys a placid, serene existence battling the elements and struggling for survival. It’s great that someone called this in and the swan had bloodwork done - so now we’re assured the pair can enjoy one another’s company for as long as possible.

@artchillery2604 Ай бұрын

Our Volunteers had a great opportunity to record the reunion of these two Trumpeter Swans 717 (Charlotte) and Y37 (Mango) - We work with all wildlife at the park and when we sight an illness or injury with any of these animals, we will work closely with the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) to get them back on their feet and released back into the wild again!! PLEASE NOTE: Trumpeter Swans feed on aquatic vegetation and wild grasses in their natural environment!! PLEASE "DO NOT" FEED THE TRUMPETER SWANS OR ANY OTHER WATER BIRD "BREAD" OR ANY OTHER "JUNK FOOD" THAT YOU MAY FIND IN YOUR HOME!! BREAD AND JUNK FOOD HAVE LITTLE OR NO NUTITIONAL VALUE FOR SWANS OR ANIMALS - AND IF TOO MUCH BREAD IS FED TO BABY SWANS OR BABY WATER BIRDS, THEY MAY GET A DEFORMITY CALLED "ANGEL WING" CAUSED DIRECTLY BY BREAD AND BREAD PRODUCTS!! IN MOST CASES, THAT BABY WOULD HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED AS IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR NOT DOING THIS - TO KEEP OUR WILDLIFE HEALTHY AND STRONG!! 😊😊

Swans are also extremely protective parents and will aggressively chase and fight off animals much larger than themselves to protect their offspring. The male will often take an offensive stance and attack the predator, while the female will stay back with the babies vigilantly guarding them.

@johannageisel5390 Ай бұрын

Indeed. And sometimes they even do it just to defend their territory, even if no chicks are there. My father and I once were on a kayaking trip down the river Elbe in Germany and we encountered a swan who started to display threat signs from a hundred meters away. We slowly drifted down the river and the animal came towards us and then even took off to fly in our direction. We held up our paddles to defend ourselves in case he wanted to attack, but he thankfully landed again and just showed threat displays until we had left his turf. ^ ^ And when I was a child the swans on a small lake near my grandparents' house would put their heads through the fence and grab people's trousers. I was very afraid of them, but my father made it a game to grab their beaks and hold them close until the swans had enough and wanted to get away. 😂 They can be a bit dickish sometimes.

@JohnHF1957 26 күн бұрын

I can vouch for their protectiveness. Many years ago, during a round of golf, I hit my ball into a water hazard which had a small island in the middle, where a pair of swans had their nest. When I tried to get my ball from the water, I was set upon. Then, the players in the group behind, who went nowhere near the water, were attacked even more emphatically. They are always majestic, even when they are angry.

I lived next to a lake with swans. The lake went with the road we had to take everyday. It was not unusual for an angry swan to stop traffic there lol. I found the beavers more annoying, since they would, in the darkness, slap the water with their tail as a gunshot, spooked me countless times

The news report said that the swans injury was a cut on his beak. And yes, the Toronto wildlife centre do amazing work. We are so lucky to have them up here. This video is so lovely. It just makes you forget all the horror that’s going on outside right now, if only for a moment. We have swans in the park down behind my building and I go down and sit in my car and watch them from time to time. They are such gorgeous birds. Not always very friendly to people, but we’re not there to make friends with them we’re just there to enjoy them.

And no, we arent people who think you should save yourself for marriage, believe in a any sort of religion or that we have some kind of morally ideal situation. People have different lives, should be allowed to live how they choose and its just the way our lives are. But completely monogamous people do exist. We're probably pretty rare, though.
