Swan birthday Shenanigans part 2

(Edited)

Hello Hello all you lovely people of the Hive

In the summer it was my birthday and I made a Birthday Shenanigans (part 1) and the wee harem post ...
And you know what?

I never published part 2!

Today is actually the birthday of @coquicoin

So Happy Birthday Super Eli and this one is for you, smile at some of the pies to cheer you up, whilst you take it easy!

In the distance I spied some female mallard ducks!

A harem I thought...Or was it...

The ending from part 1!

We followed them and of course they stopped for some fun and frolics ...

Now you would think that the brown colouring would make these all female Mallard ducks ...

And you would be wrong, have a look at the head, do you see how velvety looking it is, these are what I call teenagers, they are not yet adults and they are all the bown colouring as if they are females!

The crafy fluffing so and so's!

We followed the ducks, and let me tell you this!

It is much fluffing easier to swim in the water that hack through undergrowth!

But we persevered and followed them up the far end of the loch, or lake I should say!

image.png

Yey the water was getting much more visible again!

And soon we spied a block!

image.png

But it was not any old block!

Oh no this was a magical block.

image.png

Can you see? This was a portal to the swans!

I zoomed in ....

and what did I see?

image.png

A great big white fluffy arse!

image.png

It is at this point, that I should tell you that post is also an entry to Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 97 go do check it out on @nelinoeva's page in the Feathered Friends community.

The theme for this week is waterfowl, so ducks swans etc you get the picture ....

image.png

So let's zoom in again ...

image.png

It was two of the pie children that used to be in Beveridge Park last year.

See how grown up they have become Super Eli? They have shed their juvenile camouflaged feathers and now sport full white plummage and their bills have the horn now and it's orange!

image.png

Well there are three of them, AND they are so fluffing far away I can't tell who is who!

Right let's get calling .....

image.png

Well that got their attention! Keep calling...

image.png

Meanwhile the ducks said fluff this and went in the opposite direction!

image.png

Now they are starting to motor in towards me!

image.png

And LOOK the swan portal block!!!

image.png

Their reward, well food of course, the duck and swan pellets that I get from Amazon!

image.png

They really are majestical creatures and their necks are so flexible and can make for beautiful and romantic pictures.

image.png

Like I said, I think they are so majestical and beautiful, and these three I have known since they were little cygnets.

image.png

All that dry food makes one thirsty, don't you think!

So drink water time!

I am going to leave you with one more picture and my entry for the Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 97

image.png

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!

Beautiful and majestic the now grown-up pies, Super Ed!
I love the swans 🦢😍 so much I almost forgive you for not having Archie's draft ready.
I'm taking it easy, but I think I'll make an exception for one thing. And I will put on my bossy boots again to see if you leave aside the CBA you have with Archie 😉 And speaking of arses 😂 I think that the great big white fluffy arse! is a winner.
Thank you, Super Ed, I loved the post and It made me smile 💙💙😽

Those ducks look fowl! 😂

Seriously, though, I like ducks and think they're really peaceful. My boys love ducks and geese and, even at 16 and 20 years of age, will gleefully point them out when we pass a flock of them. It's really heartwarming to see.

That is cool your two sons love them, I am biased and waterfowl are my favourite type of feathered birds!

Feeding with nutrition, their diet requirement is dark green leafy vegetables (not used in the kitchen) shredded with some potato, floated onto the water best for swans by what I have learned.

We don't have swans most don't need helping hand here in warmer conditions either. !LOLZ

As long as not bread!
Yeah the pellets I get are full of nutrient aimed at ducks and swans, main thing is that drink whilst eating.
I am just waiting for the pond to freeze, hopefully not, but it has happened before.
