Swan

“Stop poking fun at your brother! He’ll learn how to fly soon enough!” Oh, hello there. I didn’t realize you were here, as I was tending to my children! Being a parent can be hard work, you know! My mate and I work very hard on making sure our children are raised to be the best that they can be, although many think we are just here to be pretty. That is not true! I am a swan, and although I can be graceful, I will also be very aggressive if you attempt to harm my nest or my young. I can be quite large, and am one of the heaviest birds that can fly. My mate and I met when we were several years old, and have been together ever since. We share the duties of the nest and hunting for food, a true partnership. We have raised a few cygnets so far, and my spouse and I have decided to use the same nest for all the young we choose to raise, like so many of our species! We will mate for life and are so in love with each other! It is why we are often a symbol for love, which is something we don’t at all mind. I’m sorry! I would love to stay and chat more, but I must get the kids out of the water as it’s time for lunch!

Your pet becomes an expert at finding its own food!

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
