Lost swan reunited with family

'Lost' swans are a fairly common call at Wildlife Aid. Reflections from roads or roofs can trick them into believing they are landing on water and, once down, they find it very hard to take off again!
Simon was called out to rescue this swan after it was heard crash landing on a roof. Luckily, it had not been injured and was taken straight back to the nearest lake. Once she was back on the water she swam straight over to her cygnets, who were very happy to greet her! :)

I love how the swan is just sitting next to him for a while before he lifts the swan to the water

[@beyondgreen9772]

Me too!

[@Argumemnon]

Also says "thanks" as it swims away.

[@hilman94]

I was thinking, if he'd not lift the swan, probably the swan would prefer to stay with him 😁

[@obiwan7174]

its saying ill miss you simon and then goes into the water to see her babys

[@svinfintyexpert]

Just less blood flow on leg.

[@joeschmoe5063]

I love how he just holds the swan in the bag as if it were a briefcase

[@grytlappar]

I didn't know swan bags existed until I watched this channel. :)

I think it's a....Damn, what's Brand Name..... Swi-Swommy, Sss-Slippy, Simmy...Slappy, Slimmin', Sommim', Swan, Swinson-Swansonite? Or is it Samsonite? I'll just call it a Swansonite

[@cavyherd7471]

This has to be the most friendly swan in the world xD

[@WoodysAR]

There were Swans who made a nest on my shed,. at night the boy bird was always gone,. a few times I went out and scared racoons away from the Mom bird, one night, rhey had just about gotten one of her eggs, it was like 3 feet away from her and precariously perched, I took a rake and carefully, very slowely, pushed the egg towards Mom, as soon as it got within reach, she reached out with her beak, and pulled it the rest off the way,. but reall tender like I was doing it,. THEN SHE LOOKED UP AND MADE A COO SOUND! it felt like a thank you... When the babies were born, I was out there putting pillows around the shed in case they fell off, but they left the nest within, it felt like a couple days, even a day,.. I was sad, then SHE AND HE brought the babies back! I think it might be on my channel actually kzbin.info The Dad bird, I saw every day and he talked/honked to me,.. He would get all excited and happy about the good food hehe, so cute... I wish the Great White Herons were more friendly, they are so majestic,..

[@SalemSchaberhagen]

What a sweet mama swan. Didn't wallop Simon at all.

[@animemusicluver1]

Salem Saberhagen I'm surprised she didn't hiss or bite him like they others usually do 😂😂

[@hipocampelofantocame]

SS: Hiss perhaps; strike, no.

[@gizzard2025]

She probably was still little sore/little stun from hitting that building. And just sensed they were there to help her find water an her babies.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

@@gizzard2025 I rather had the impression, that she was fed up with family life, thus trying to fly away and the reluctance to get back into the water :p

[@MajesticalHonky]

[@sarahmarks7082]

Just saw this video today 😁 Thank you Simon for your rescue 🥰 I love the 'swan carrier '🦢

[@gisawslonim9716]

"Excellent service," said Mr. Swan, "I recommend the company highly, and my personal valet, Mr. Simon, handled everything perfectly. All in all quite a pleasant trip."

[@RealismFTW]

I'm always so shocked at how calm swans are when Simon is handling them. They're just chilling in the swan bag and doesn't fuss around much. Love it :)

[@xara5417]

Muppetlord usually he is hissed at/bit or they hit him.

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Actually, if you watch more of the vids, you'll see they love to beat the snot out of him, too! :-)

[@newchris2886]

The swans nearby have probably heard of this Volvo boss

[@Alex-jg2bc]

2:45 I love they’re just sitting beside each other like old friends

[@Sourdoughgirl]

For once, the swan didn't attack Simon. LOL

[@amanda3963]

Omg he was just so content like "nah think I'll just sit with you and watch the ducks" that was precious he was free but knew he didn't have to leave.

[@tortoise2.04]

It's like my mom when she sent me to first grade and I didn't want to go so I just sat with her until she ushered me to go play. And the swans did the same thing he sat there kinda hesitant until he gave him just a little push.

[@awalk5177]

I admire this man so much. He's a true gentleman, brave too. He knows somehow how to talk to the swan to keep it calm.

[@cozmcwillie7897]

The way the swan sat on the river step looking in as if to say: "you know I quite enjoy being carried around, could we go for a stroll?

[@Gudwin2334]

Blimey this channel is so British. I'm chuffed to bits.

Did anyone else catch the person in the background who quickly picked up the water jug when Simon said: "there's no water anywhere near here really."

[@juliehayne4636]

I love her!

[@shadowishes1074]

Swan: LEAVE ME BE!!!! Me: They're trying to help you! Swan: *calms down*

[@SandyBelleX3]

I like how when Simon asked the swan "are you going to go in there or not?" The swan slightly turned its head to look at Simon lol.

[@darlenefraser3022]

I love the “shake a tail feather” when they get loosed back into the water

I love this damn channel and this lovely bloke...💙

[@C4TC4T]

I love hearing different slang from where i come from its wicked cool

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

Got to love the rampant air-paddling with its feet, when picked up. What's it going to do? Try and "out-paddle" Simon? 😂 ᴴᵃʰᵃ I'm quite amazed how well she and the pair of cygnets were able to recognize from a distance and swim right up to each other. Well... of course, I'm just a human who think all swans "look alike", but surely they think all humans look alike, as well! 😉 Beautiful rescue/release. What a lovely park that is, with lots of wildlife! It's been a while since I've been to one.

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

*Darren Todd* I was indeed finding it odd that the other swan was putting on a threat display and figured it might not be her young ones after all, especially after fleeing. Could be that she's still a _mother,_ but as you say, too many bodies of water and a small chance of actually finding her own, yet still with an urge to nurture.

They're also among the animal kingdom's greatest parents - they'll protect their mate and their young until their death, and will fight off predators far larger than them if it means the cygnets can survive.
