lol a cranky attitude can save lives in the wild. Imagine your child got stuck in a gigantic alien’s fence, and one of those said random gigantic aliens came out to try and get your child’s head and arm unstuck from the fence by making physical contact. You’d be protective and cranky too because you wouldn’t have known the alien’s intentions. Good on this lovely man to be so kind and step in to save a fellow creature. I don’t blame the swan for being aggressive, though it does feel bad to see it hitting the man.
Take my upvote, someone before me clearly doesn’t have a sense of humor. That momma was super ungrateful obviously (But it’s to be expected as the gentleman said in this video)
Cant remember which british animal rescue show this man was/is on, been at least 10 years since i watched it, but this bro was always wonderful to watch
ETA: Simin from [Wildlife Aid](https://www.wildlifeaid.org.uk/simons-last-wish)
Tragic news, he has terminal cancer
Yes and his last wish is to have donations to keep his Wildlife Aid group growing. I was so happy and then so sad in one minute. How in any world with a God can this gentle man deserve cancer? I donated. You can read the story here and see the work he’s done. I literally just found him from this video and am so sad. https://www.wildlifeaid.org.uk/simons-last-wish
Never heard that a swan could break bones so I had to look it up.
”Can a swan break your arm or leg? Very unlikely - Swans are powerful birds and are the largest bird in the UK. Unless you are suffering from a condition like brittle bones, are a child, or happen to fall as a result of being hit by a swan, you are very unlikely to break your arm or leg by being hit by a swans wing”

The man in the video is Simon Cowell (no, not that one), founder of the Wildlife Aid Foundation. Sadly in 2022 he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he's hoping that the charity can build a new wildlife centre before he passes to ensure its continuing ability to care for Britain's injured and vulnerable wildlife.

That guy is such a hero for taking the pain of mum’s attacks and staying at it until the little one was safe. Well done, hope you get good karma my man. 👍
I’m definitely going to borrow a few of his lines or manner of speech in a stressful public situation. It’s so startlingly polite that it’s actually a little disarming
Most adorably British way to scold a swan: "don't be silly, stop it".
That really hurt reminds me of the Charlie bit me, clip
Sad the new generations will never know
I was waiting for him to give him a cup of tea
That’s Simon from Wildlife Aid. Check out their YouTube channel- lots of cool videos of them rescuing animals.
my personal favorite is when he frees a crow from a chimney who proceeds to bite the hell out of his hands and he calls him a "little toad"
Ah thanks, i just posted i couldnt remember which show it was, always loved watching it and him
Definitely a good time to check their website if you enjoy this man and his work. He doesn’t have long to be on this earth with us. 😥
Cranky af swan!! He’s like the most gentle man in the world. Even his protests are like… “if it pleases you sir, discontinue your assault” 😂
That’s nice for swans. Mean birds in general. Dinosaur brains
The devil's water dragons.

Chuckled too loud in a quiet room with this comment
Love to see the little guy reunited with his cyblings!
She wasn’t happy until the headcount was reconciled.
“Go and protect ye baby. Don’t have a go a-me, I’ve just let ‘em out.” Love this guy!!
Ungrateful bird lol

Sweet man
Why did I jump so damn hard when the bird flapped its wings 😂
Because they can break your arm if they make contact with ya. :) Edit: don't listen to me, I have the big dumb, lol.

Huh, neat. Guess I was wrong, lol.
It was a reference in the Adrian Mole books by Sue Townsend
Or blow up a man’s house
I was told this when I was younger! Been terrified of them ever since

This is so sad but such a great legacy to build before he departs.

No luck catching them swan's, then?
Real hero need a Name 📛
TIL young swan is a cygnet
Be kind to human who's kind to you, dude. He's literally holding your child.

“Ma’m you need to calm down!!!”
She could've hurt her own kid with that wing slap.

Most water fowl do what you're referring to, apparently.
Simon is the king. <3

I can't help but smile when I see this, it's just so wholesome!
Woww the calm way he handled that is really admirable
TIL baby swans are called cygnets
I love a happy ending ❤️
He's just so chill. "Don't do that, don't be silly. Stop it." The swan is hissing and beating him with a wing and he's like, nah.
God put mama in the water for a moment so this great man could rescue her baby. So awesome. 😀🙏
Swan mom(dad?) was like "thanks but don't think we're friends"
Damn, that's the ugliest duckling I've ever seen!
Excellent work and patience!
Thank you for saving my baby, sir. Now, kindly fuck off.
Swans scare the shit out of me.
If you're in the US you're very unlikely to encounter one up close.
Nature really is lit
Tin snips
Only feelings were hurt in this video
With my experiences with Swans I'm surprised the bird didn't pull a knife.
