Holland: feeding (hissing) Mute Swans in Lelystad

http://toursandtales.com/ - A pair of swans occassionally grace our duck pond. I took our video camera out with some bread one day and had an incredible interaction with these amazing birds. Every time I see them, my heart fills with such joy. I hope this video does them justice (and that Tschaikovsky would have approved :-)

Its really a comedy. We have swans permenantly on our lake and they are such characters

@shaddowdancers Swans are indeed great characters. Our place is surrounded by large lakes, so these swans aren't always around ... but when they are, it's awesome! Thanks for your comment.
