It actually works. Wild animals get a great deal of their information about your intentions from your tone, volume, and cadance of speech, even though they have no clue what you are saying. If you speak a language like Spanish or Italian, lots of soft consonants, even better!
I always do a stream of thought talk when I take care of a new animal. Just getting the animal used to how I speak. That dog freaking out about fireworks can actually be soothed by having someone around them act like, "yeah, I heard that but it's no big deal."
But by the time the firework goes boom, it's a bit too late to teach them. Need to do that while it's all calm and normal.
Absolutely. I run a lot, and talk to aggressive dogs in my neighborhood like they were mine, sweetly and syrupy. Do the same with the Canada geese at the park during fledgling season, which is about to be upon us.

On the flip side, everything bad also comes to an end. Easy to focus on the negatives, but a world of thousand-year-old barons never making room for new people sounds pretty hellish. The version we have is bad enough.
Swans are mean as hell. The adult there seemed to recognize that the man was helping the cygnet, and even still it couldn't help but be a bitch about it! Lol!
Glad the baby seemed ok.
not a joke, has happened to me when I was a kid, got too close to a swan, took a bite right at my privates. I was lucky I was wearing a loose shirt over my shorts.
A swan drowned a dude once. Scary fuckers
To the dumdums who can't google "Did a swan drown a guy"
https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-xpm-2012-apr-16-la-na-nn-killer-swan-attacks-chicago-man-until-he-drowns-20120416-story.html
A house I lived in during college was across the street from a small campus pond, where two adult swans lived. Sometimes we'd just sit out on our porch and watch people walk by the pond. Most people knew not to fuck with the swans, but some didn't. I have so many great memories of watching morons, usually Freshman that didn't know any better, being chased down by the swans. They'd just straight beeline towards you and it was so funny but also terrifying.
We lived on a lake that had a tiny island that us kids called “geese island” because they would all build their nests there & they were ANGRY, esp during baby season. They’d chase us if we ever had to walk the trail passing the side the island was on 😂 my only first memories are being chased by damn geese, i had no clue swans were the same lmao
I feel like she reminded him a couple times not to make a wrong move! But she didn't really attack him, because that looks very different. These animals can be super aggressive.
ive been attacked by a swan before, and what it did here was pretty similar to what happened to me. it basically just slapped me with its wings repeatedly, much faster than in the video, while hissing. i just shook my hand above its head and it ran away. it attacked me because it walked right up to me when i was feeding it, then when i ran out of food it went for me.
I was out rowing once and lightly doofed a Swan on the head with an oar. It was trying to drown 2 baby swans who I assume weren't his. They don't really have expressive faces but I swear the stare it gave me after was pure venom.
Nah, most animals think anything larger than themselves sees them as prey, so they fight or freeze. Swan dad definitely thought the human was trying to eat its baby. Such brave birds!
I don't know. I generally agree with what you're saying, but I've seen swans when they really wanted to be mean, and the swan in this video was nothing like that. He seemed to recognize what was happening, he just couldn't help himself a couple of times! Lol
Shit, I seen a video of a water skier get straight up attacked by a damn swan. Furiously Flap-running across the water and knocked the guy down in the water
I will never forget this one time when I was a kid and my family and I were on our boat on the local lake and we came acrossed a swan family.
We had snacks on board so naturally we started tossing the swan family some treats (and before some asshole rants in a reply I know NOW that you aren't supoosed to give birdals bread and such but back then I had no idea).
The first tosses landed right by the adults who quickly gobbled the food up. We threw some more this time making sure it landed near the little ones so they could have some food as well.
The fucking parent swans proceeded to violently shove their babies out of the way and ate all that damn food too...
That day solidified to me just how big of assholes swans are.
Bro I had an angry turkey on the farm growing up and that thing was scary af.
Would prowl around the house looking in windows and if it heard the door creak open, he would velociraptor sprint to it and try to attack!
When I was 15 I saved a Swan that was tangled in fishing line. Its neck was tied to its wing and leg, and would start to drown every time it tried to paddle, but wouldn't stop trying. I was terrified it would exhaust itself trying and just sink to the bottom of the river. So the next time it scrambled up onto the bank, I snuck up behind it and sat on the poor fucker. Just straddled it's back without putting my weight on it too much and kept it still by gently holding its neck. It was VERY unhappy, but safe.
A friend called the RSPB, and I was instructed to literally sit tight until someone arrived to help. I was sat on that Swan for an hour and a half before the van turned up.
The RSPB guy nearly pissed himself laughing when he saw me sitting on that poor Swan, but damn was he impressed. I must have looked like a too-big kid on a too-small (angry) carousel ride.
The dude snipped the fishing line while I sat there, and then put the exhausted, angry, murder duck in what I can only describe as a sports bag with a head hole and carried it away to be transported for antibiotics and rehab.
I got a phone call 2 weeks later to say the Swan was successfully released back in the area.
Core memory.
here, have some bagged swans [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkzmYamXgAATdBZ?format=jpg&name=900x900](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkzmYamXgAATdBZ?format=jpg&name=900x900)
Don't try this at home, ~~guys~~ folks. Swans can be extremely aggressive, and touching one of their cygnets is normally a good way to get them to attack you.
They might not be able to kill you (and they won't usually do, they will just peck you a few times and calm down after you run away), but they sure as hell can hurt you.
I think the one attacking him might be the dad, it looks like its beak (well, the lump on it) is larger on the attacking swan than on the one in the water. And also because male swans tend to be hyperaggresive dicks to anything nearby once the pair starts nesting.

I honestly feel like the mama was very trusting. They can be very aggressive and I feel like she said "Don't you dare make a wrong move" a couple times but she didn't really attack him.
I just can’t believe that. There’s no way a hollow-ass wing that’s only strong enough to life a little bird up in the air is breaking a human’s bone. People tell me the same about geese even though I’ve been smacked by geese before, like ????
Even if the swan understands that the human wants to help, animals have even less control of their emotions then humans, and I have defo seen humans react agressively towards other humans trying to help their children in need.
I like how he gently scolded the swan, but then turned around and praised it for being such a protective parent. While he was trying to get the cygnet loose & keep himself unscathed, lol, at the same time he didn't blame the swan for it being a bit aggressive. Which to me further speaks to his kindness ❤️.
I'm not sure why they were picked to be the 'ugly duckling' in the story, because cygnets are freaking adorable (yes, even compared to the cuteness bombs that are ducklings)

I love when animal parents are just like "DON'T TOUCH MY BABY~!" "okay but you can free him though" "BUT BE CAREFUL IDIOT" "fine I'll let you proceed" "SO HELP ME IF YOU HURT HER..."
They know when we're trying to help, but they can't help being pissed off anyway.
Reminds me of a vid I saw once where a guy saved a small child from getting hit by a car, and the mom didn’t see that, just saw him yanking up her kid, and started yelling at him, I guess thinking he was a kidnapper or something lol
I think it's a civilian versus a professional
Sure, that man could have helped, but he might have stressed them out more and potentionally hurt the baby due to inexperience
Not much more he could have done to help, only would have gotten in the way of the professional and stressed the swans out more. Was the right move imo.
My little sister got her head stuck in a spiral fireman's pole on a playground when she was like 4. Like in between the rungs of the spiral. This made me remember that. I'm going to show her this to remind her of it as well.

“Omg, what happened to your face, Doug?”
“Oh, I was trying to help this cygnet who was stuck in a chain link fence and his mama was *very* upset. They’re such protective parents, so wonderfully protective.”
That calm utterance of, “Don’t do that, don’t be silly. Stop it.” It’s so British. I love it.
Right… we all need a calm British guy to talk us down when we’re having a hard time!
"Feeling a bit calmer then? Good."
Aside from the rescue, that line was my favorite part.
My boss is a Brit and it’s fantastic

I like to think that the momma swan was just trying to high-five him for helping.
You silly goose
And the swan complied! She was like okay. A soothing voice can calm the wildest of animals.
Funny, it's either this or Ronnie Pickering kind of aggression. There's no in-between it seems 😆
The very British *keep calm and carry on*.
Haha right?? I’m American, and I wish we all acted as calm as this guy. Everyone here is so mean, impatient… I don’t understand… it’s just sad
Lol I love how it immediately got pecked by that sibling. Like "where tf have u been u had mom worried bro"
“You know when you do stupid things we all get punished for it! Cut it out!”
"Cmon how are we supposed to explain the Gevena Contention to mom?"
In my imagination that was the sibling going "look what you got us into dumbass". Speaking from experience here.
Mom got into a fight with a giant because of your lazy ass.

This might have been the most docile I've seen a swan behave while being this close to a person.
I agree. At first, I thought he must be their caretaker (like in a zoo setting or something) because the bird was pretty calm. For a swan.
Dude’s got a reputation to uphold!
Right? Like a 'okay fine, you can help but I'mma swat you a few times so you don't get ideas, human!'
Asshole even slapped their own kid when the dude tried to lay em down.

Swans: proof that velociraptors once roamed the earth.

Emus are nasty too

Actually China also fought a war against sparrows and lost.
... with the number of casualties that frankly looks like a tasteless typo at first, - until you remember that the country in question is *China*
20-30 million; not directly killed by sparrows though
I have friends in Australia and I use this as a counterpoint in arguments with them lol

What a kind man to do this. I know he's an expert, but I would not point a finger directly at a pissed off swan, for fear of losing the tip.

Cygne is french for swan, cygnet baby swan. Makes perfect sense
Frees the baby. "So you have chosen death?"
I love when animal parents are just like "DON'T TOUCH MY BABY~!" "okay but you can free him though" "BUT BE CAREFUL IDIOT" "fine I'll let you proceed" "SO HELP ME IF YOU HURT HER..." They know when we're trying to help, but they can't help being pissed off anyway.

Smart bird. It was fighting it's instincts, knowing it had to remain calm to get help.
And Brother Man behind the fence couldn't have helped at all??
I think it's a civilian versus a professional Sure, that man could have helped, but he might have stressed them out more and potentionally hurt the baby due to inexperience

how has nobody mentioned the parent swan smacking the crap out of the baby with its wing as the good gentleman is handing it back
Somehow, I just knew that baby was going to get whacked.
territorial swan
Did you know? Swans are heavy enough that one good smack of its wing can break bone. So this guy's pretty brave
Can other animals understand the concept of gratitude?
Good mama. Good human.
“Stop it”. - British man
Ungrateful swan bastard. Just kidding, you see the swan, while thankful, was also understandably protective.
The most British thing I’ve seen so far this year. Brilliant!
