  1. I’ve had to pick Canadian geese and Swans up and put them in the water tank for a swim at the Wild Bird Fund also swans . Some of them are fiercer than others and all of them are heavy . We have a Virgina Rail recovering from an ingury this week. I’m hoping he or she will recover.

    1. I imagine Mute Swans weigh a ton; I see they can get up to 22 lbs which is insane for a bird. Probably why you can hear those wings working when they fly.

  2. But more like waddleraptors than velociraptors.
