Swan rescue

A lovely thing for him to do but lol if anyone though the parents were going to be all sweet and grateful afterwards. Mute swans just wanna beat you up. I spent a few minutes hand feeding one once, and after every bite of food he hissed angrily at me.

He was specifically called out to handle it and probably had a good idea of what to expect.

That's why I said 'anyone' - the actual rescuer looks perfectly comfortable dealing with angry bird parents. The people watching might have expected something a little more fairytale.

Yeah it only takes one interaction to shatter that illusion. Love the way he tells it off.

This is fantastic! At first, I’m super impressed with the tall, brave chick. Then outta nowhere comes much smaller penguin, whose name in penguin speak must include their word for “Mad”.

No pictures because it happened too quickly but a kookaburra was hanging out on our balcony railing when it got attacked by 3 noisy miner birds.
Lots of noise and a few feathers went flying before they all flew away in a huff.
Never seen anything like that before especially considering that kookaburras are large birds with large beaks and noisy miners are not.

Came to post that. I like the comment about collecting fish lore.

Although I see it more as “I could eat that! Or maybe that! I bet that one is delicious! Golly they just all look so gosh-dern tasty!”
