I think we're going to need a bigger nest, Dear. (May, 2010)

"This Canada goose has been left in charge of 40 goslings on the Thames in Reading, with only one helper to lend a wing. Although so-called geese 'creches' - where the offspring of different parents get mixed up - are fairly common, experts say this is one of the largest and most understaffed they have seen." (I count more than 40)

Kulning - How to call a wild swan with traditional Swedish singing.

"This way of singing is called kulning, it's an old nordic tradition. It was used by women to call in the cattle and to communicate over big distances in the forest and mountains. Cows and cats use to react by being curios when I call but I have never seen a swan react before".
 
While visiting former friends some years back in OK and before I knew that swans can attack and be quite viscous, we went to a picnic at a lake that had a few swans visit often.

There was a big one swimming quite near the shore. Finally it got so hot, I had to take a dip. While I was backstroking and side stroking, this creature came up and swam beside me. I amazed! It was such a thrill to be so close to it.

Friends began calling and gesturing to me to come back to shore, so when I did they said I was lucky that swan must have gotten used to a lot of people visiting there.
