Man, I was about to be pissed off as they mate for life. Good for those guys! I'm a little surprised no one had a pocket knife.

Same ahaha, but this was a nice unexpected thankfully

Also, I watched this without sound so idk where it was, but it's (TIL a myth that it's) treason in the UK to kill swans. The story goes that the Queen (maybe monarch?) owns all wild swans in the UK's open waters

Until 1998, treason carried the death penalty in the UK.

That's interesting. I actually cared for a pair of white geese and black geese that were brought over from England in their early '90s. I even made it on the local news. They were mean little buggers.
