  • Time to say good bye and good luck to the 2011 cygnets at Reddish Vale Country Park, the cygnets hatched in June 2011, three out of four survived, their parents are now ready to nest and they have to chase their cygnets away.

    Almost sad. They don't want to leave mummy. But such is life. Bitter sweet

    This is the most absolutely amazing video I ever seen. People don’t post videos often of swans chasing their young away👌

    The biomechanics of avian flight is downright beautiful and awe-inspiring, especially when such a big majestic bird taking off, flapping its wings vigorously to generate lift to defy gravity and to cary their massive weight. Awesome!! I notice the wing length of the cob swan and that of his cygnets is almost the same. The difference mostly lies on the wing's breadth. The parent's wings are broader, in order to generate more lift at the same taking off speed, due to the greater weight of the parent.

    I've seen and filmed a lot of this kind of behaviour here in Waterford, Ireland. I live along side a tributary of the River Suir (Sure) that flows through Waterford and have observed the dominant Cob, wings up, head well back, moving through the water like a torpedo and then taking a flying leap at another Swan who hadn't moved out of his way quickly enough, just as in this video.

    If human babies grew up in only 1 year, we'd do the same thing. It only seems cruel to us because it takes humans 20 years to be ready to fend for themselves.

    So swans are just always pissed off, first against anyone who looks at their young, then at their own young.

    I see this where I live in the UK. It`s almost heartbreaking but I guess mother nature is :-/

    How long does it usually take for the cygnets to get the message and bug out?

    Why are they doing that?

    • @julieenslow5915
      @julieenslow5915 Před 6 lety +4

      Because they cant nest and raise more babies until these leave the area. Its instinctual. I don't know how last season's adolescents would interfere, but I do know it does not become an instinct if many many many generations of parents have proven that it must be done.
