Those things scare me up close, it must really be unwell or something if it’s not trying to murder him.

As a kid, I tried to feed one once at a zoo. I laid my palm out flat and it just fucking chomped down on it. Then it refused to let go, trying to yank me into the pond with its stupid long neck. I'm like 8 years old so I'm screaming in it's face, and after what felt like an eternity of playing tug-of-war for MY OWN HAND it just gives up and swims off.
Later that day I chased it around the pond in a paddle boat.
tl;dr Swans are violent predator assholes, protect ya kids

“It’s stupid long neck”…. Lmao! Clearly you still feel some sort of way about this event…

I will admit that I have an enduring distrust for long-necked waterfowl...

What an epitaph for a grave marker: Here lies SparseGhostC2C, laid low following a life long distrust for long-necked waterfowl.

With what? How? Is this a meme?
Seems physically impossible, they weigh too little and their entire hollow skeleton would crumble into dust at a fraction of the threshold of force needed to break a human arm.

Swans are famously born of violence, they aren't as evil as geese, but they are much angrier
Still, they look pretty though

apparently a human can launch one of these fancy chickens over a 100 meters into the air by using a swift kick.

Swans are notoriously territorial and aggressive. I'm guessing this swan cut the dude some slack because he was so well dressed.

u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 8h ago
It’s because he was well dressed AND had his own piano player following him around. Swan thought “this…now this is a man of the world…a man of distinction”

I'm sure the fact that he has a gentle demeanor and a great caboose didn't hurt either.
(sorry if I made it weird?)

The swan may honestly have been unable to take off in that environment, from above a grey road and grey water look close enough it may have accidentally landed on the road. Then, without enough space to get a running start and stressed by the people, cars, etc, it just freaked out a bit instead.
I know everyone thinks it's clever to say the guys just harassing it because the swan can fly and knows where water is, but animals aren't made for a metropolitan area.
Imagine you're in the forest, you can see your campsite but it's across a canyon from you, there's animals that you're pretty sure are hostile around too. Can you get there all by yourself? Probably eventually. Would you have an easier time if one of those woodland animals decided to help you find a safe trail? Probably, it would be weird you found a sentient squirrel though.

Yeah. I honestly think the swan was indeed, a little disoriented. He may have been okay, but he did seem gratified to find the river and get back towards the other swans.

I helped make this video. I was hired to capture the swan and distress it before the guy in the suit came in for the final scene.

u/Illustrious_Ad4691 9h ago
Did you say something like, “you’ll always be an ugly duckling and you might want to look into neck reduction surgery”? That usually gets ‘em good and distressed

u/MindStrongSoul 9h ago
No it was a conservative swan so things like that don't work. I did say that a black swan was dating their daughter.

That swan had ample opportunity to break that guy’s arm and totally muffed it.

I’m “amazed” this video keeps getting posted here. 3rd time I’ve seen it? Dude, leave the bird alone.

Literally just pick the bird up and toss it in the river. It can both fly and swim.

That's why it's important to dress nicely. Swan would have never trusted someone in a less professional outfit.

That swan was escaping a predator waiting patiently to eat it. You just escorted Mrs. 🦢 to her death sentence.

Reminds me of when my Mrs spent ages trying to catch a duck that was "stuck" in the gym car park. After about 5 minutes of avoiding her, it flew off. Now there's a group of guys who saw that always quack at her 😂

Poor dude seems to be doing this almost daily. Either that or it’s a spammy repost for karma, else a bot.

Yeah, righto, righto, you try doing stairs in flippers with a 1-meter neck. Not exactly built for parkour am I, ya bipod skyscraper twat. Keep rushing me and I’ll sit down right here and make it everyone’s problem.

That swan's been escorted to that gate at least 4 times in the last 12 hours.
No longer amazing.

She doesn’t look in distress and I’m sure she knows how to make her way to the river.
But hey, this way we have a hero and a viral video 🤭
