    Wonderful to have found your channel....someone else as crazy about birds as me 😁 What are you feeding the cygnets? I presume you feed them on the water? Or do they bring them up on the bank to you. Asking as I've been feeding my local swans for about a year now, currently Mrs (Jeannie) is happily incubating and if my observations are right, then I'm hoping there will be cygnets sometime in the next week 😁 last year their nest failed so I'm hoping this year is better for them.

    Fingers crossed you’ll have cygnets soon, they’re so special 🥰 I feed a mixture of foods including bread, layers pellets, mixed bird seed, and floating pellets. Sometimes sunflower seeds too. The cygnets I always feed on water. Syd and Wilma will come out to feed with me, but I don’t encourage the cygnets to do this as I don’t want them to mistakenly believe all humans are safe to hand feed with.

    @@reallifewiththecrazybirdla2660 ahhh, that's great, thanks so much for replying. Mine I always only feed when they are in the water as there's a road right next to the water channel (the nest is right away from the road though, I know where they are, but too far away to really see what's happening, and too much vegetation around now) So I feed a mixture too of floating pellets, seed and oats. What are layers pellets? Hoping for cygnets in the next couple of days. There seemed to be some different activity around the nest last night from what little I could see. 😁

    The single mama swan? We found her mate dead next to her a few weeks ago. Won’t ever know for sure but suspect it was a territory battle. All we could do was remove the body so she didn’t have to sit next to it when she was nesting. Very sad. We are doing our best to keep watch on her.

    Interesting that the sydnets had more sense than to go in the water, and Wilma did not swim away. Dont worry about your boots, I got covered in mud yesterday too, digging out a tree stump. I hosed myself and boots off in fresh water. Rinse out your boots well in fresh water, after draining well, stuff them with crumpled newspaper for a while to absorb moisture. Then later open the tongue when drying. Hope this helps.

    Feeding is part of the culture here, it’s been done for many generations, but for those of us who care for the birds regularly it’s part of general care, especially with the bigger flocks, as it develops trust and allows us to do visual checks and help the birds when the need arises. There’s no way I’d be able to walk into a flock of dozens of swans and pick up one that needed a hook removed if they didn’t know and trust me.

    I don't know if it is due to the fact that I am 64 years old or that people seem to be growing more and more ignorant, but I can't stand knowing that they are so inconsiderate as to throw food on the nest itself and bothering the cute birds. It's so sad to know that the little birds fell into a gutter hole. Thank God there are people like you and others that care about little lives and do all you can to keep them safe or save them in perilous situations. I hope that all the eggs are covered under the straw and not one is lost. Beautiful Swan Mum is doing such a great job with them. 😊 Protecting defenseless lives from humans and other predators is hard, because you love them, little birds. I hope everything goes well for them and for you. Greetings from Spain.
