“Like a scene out of a romantic movie”
Swans: 🎺 🎺 🎺
They sound like those clown horns lmaooo
That’s why it’s called a trumpet swan
The animals that mate for life are so amazing to me. I'm glad she also stated they have feelings and emotions. I hate when people claim animals cannot feel anything emotionally ❣️😊
I so agree about the whole feelings aspect. We're alike in many ways, so it makes no sense to think we'd be different in that way.
P.S. Happily, they mate for life but if one sadly dies, the other often finds a new mate for life, rather than being alone thereafter.
@@a.w.thompson4001 its diffrent from shingleback skinks. Once their mate for life died, they stay alone forever.
Its so sad thinking about it, especially bc they often get overrunned by cars or one gets taken away from people who sell them illegally.
Must hurt so much...
I agree with all of you. Let me add this: artists in the past gave swan wings to angels, because they understood how these excellent birds live.
those are cold blooded people.... amphibians
@a.w.thompson4001 depends tbh we have geese and sometimes after their mate dies they don't mate again
that one pigeon in the middle like "oops gotta get outta the way i don't wanna make this awkward"
Hadn't seen that. Had to go back and watch🤗
Pigeons are, btw one of the most promiscuous ones 😂😂😂😂
THANK YOU FOR RESCUING HIM! It's so sweet to see them back together! 🥰
It wasn't necessary. They stressed them unnecessarily. The wound would have just healed.
Not necessary!?! Which veterinarian college did you attend??🙄
Well, it definitely wasn't necessary to put those yellow plastic tags on its wings.
@@ls-l1518 Yes, but at the time they captured the wounded swan, they didn’t know the extent of its injury. Moreover, the wound could have resulted from a parasite or illness - or it may have become infected without attention.
Life out in the wild is full of stressors: Cars and trucks, competition for territory and food, predation by dogs, foxes and the like. It’s not as though wildlife enjoys a placid, serene existence battling the elements and struggling for survival.
It’s great that someone called this in and the swan had bloodwork done - so now we’re assured the pair can enjoy one another’s company for as long as possible.
Honestly, pretty cute coverage. We need more positive news 😊
You don't need more "positive" news, you need to actually do something about the difficult news.
@StrawmnMcPerson Aren't you just full of advice!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@StrawmnMcPersonah yes because the opioid crisis and the domestic violence epidemic are 100% in my personal control. Forgot I could change the world on a whim. Aren’t you bright?
Yes we do need more positive news.
I was thinking 🤔 the very same thing. We really do.
I’m not crying , your crying….
How beautiful 💕
We're both Crying because this is truly one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
NOT crying, my eyes are just watering due to allergies (or something). 😊 Don't know why my heart suddenly feels too big for my chest, though. 🤔 🦢🦢❤
You're*
Oh I'm crying, I'll totally own it. Sweet happy wonderstruck tears. But I think the real question is why somebody wouldn't be...
I’m definitely crying!!
Our Volunteers had a great opportunity to record the reunion of these two Trumpeter Swans 717 (Charlotte) and Y37 (Mango) - We work with all wildlife at the park and when we sight an illness or injury with any of these animals, we will work closely with the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) to get them back on their feet and released back into the wild again!!
PLEASE NOTE: Trumpeter Swans feed on aquatic vegetation and wild grasses in their natural environment!!
PLEASE "DO NOT" FEED THE TRUMPETER SWANS OR ANY OTHER WATER BIRD "BREAD" OR ANY OTHER "JUNK FOOD" THAT YOU MAY FIND IN YOUR HOME!!
BREAD AND JUNK FOOD HAVE LITTLE OR NO NUTITIONAL VALUE FOR SWANS OR ANIMALS - AND IF TOO MUCH BREAD IS FED TO BABY SWANS OR BABY WATER BIRDS, THEY MAY GET A DEFORMITY CALLED "ANGEL WING" CAUSED DIRECTLY BY BREAD AND BREAD PRODUCTS!! IN MOST CASES, THAT BABY WOULD HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED AS IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR NOT DOING THIS - TO KEEP OUR WILDLIFE HEALTHY AND STRONG!! 😊😊
Swans aren’t technically wildlife. They are European animals released here
But the wound was small, so the rescue was unnecessary, right?
@@ls-l1518How would they have known that the wound was small? And have you forgotten about infection? Even a small wound can lead to infection and/or blood poisoning, which can then lead to a painful and unnecessary death. This is pretty basic information, it's just common sense stuff.
@@louisejohnson6057 Animals have small scraps all the time. They must have seen that pretty fast. Let them be. Ridiculous. Do you go to the hospital for a small wound? If so, don't. They could have given him an antibiotica shot on site. You people seem pretty hysterical. There are many swans where I live, you think we take them in for days for a small scrap? If it's in hatching season, it's positively bad for them.
@@M_SC Nit picky. They are wildlife here, now.
A lovely story. The type of happy news we all need to hear more of.
aww they really do sound like trumpets 🎺, glad they had a happy reunion and there wasn't anything seriously wrong with the captured swan
I was kinda hoping for a epic sax/trumpet guy to come waltzing in having taken up the challenge from the trumpets but I suppose seeing two happy swans were nice enough too.
I am glad they're finally together and happy 😊
That's so darn beautiful 💘😭
MOST Animals are sentient beings. Thank You for Sharing this incredibly beautiful moment.
Absolutely 🩵
The problem is that some of us are more sentient than others.
@@brianbullivant1009 . It's only a problem if we don't recognize that fact and employ it to do well and good.
Well, Brian, that line reminds me of a super popular line from a popular book…
I believe you are right, except maybe single celled animals? I don't know about that.
In these difficult times this is so beautiful to see❤
AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Oh so beautiful ❤ a reminder that animals feel too.
All animals are so special. Support your local wildlife rehabilitation center!!
All animals are so special; don’t eat (or wear) them!
SWAN: "THEY TORTURED ME BUT I SURVIVED THE HUMANS KIDNAPPING ME!!!"
Nah, they know when they’re helped, as all wildlife rescuers know.
@@lizziebkennedy7505 it was a joke
Absolutely spectacular! Bless the rescuers for saving Mr. Swan! 🦢🤍🦢
I’ve been saying this for years that animals do have emotions. They express their feelings. I’m so grateful to see this. I always love this.
Toronto is so fortunate to have to Toronto Wildlife Centre. They do amazing work!
They are so beautiful ❤️. Glad to see them together ☺️
They sound like those bicycle horns we had on bikes and trikes when I was a child.
Their happiness and communion make me feel happy.
Swans are also extremely protective parents and will aggressively chase and fight off animals much larger than themselves to protect their offspring. The male will often take an offensive stance and attack the predator, while the female will stay back with the babies vigilantly guarding them.
Indeed. And sometimes they even do it just to defend their territory, even if no chicks are there.
My father and I once were on a kayaking trip down the river Elbe in Germany and we encountered a swan who started to display threat signs from a hundred meters away. We slowly drifted down the river and the animal came towards us and then even took off to fly in our direction. We held up our paddles to defend ourselves in case he wanted to attack, but he thankfully landed again and just showed threat displays until we had left his turf. ^ ^
And when I was a child the swans on a small lake near my grandparents' house would put their heads through the fence and grab people's trousers. I was very afraid of them, but my father made it a game to grab their beaks and hold them close until the swans had enough and wanted to get away. 😂
They can be a bit dickish sometimes.
Peacocks are like this also.
I can vouch for their protectiveness. Many years ago, during a round of golf, I hit my ball into a water hazard which had a small island in the middle, where a pair of swans had their nest. When I tried to get my ball from the water, I was set upon. Then, the players in the group behind, who went nowhere near the water, were attacked even more emphatically. They are always majestic, even when they are angry.
Yes, like the swan episode in "Three Man in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome. So funny.
I lived next to a lake with swans. The lake went with the road we had to take everyday. It was not unusual for an angry swan to stop traffic there lol. I found the beavers more annoying, since they would, in the darkness, slap the water with their tail as a gunshot, spooked me countless times
We have to realize, they are not 'dumb' animals, but living creatures with complex behaviors and emotions!
But we know.
Trumpeter Swans are absolutely stunning birds & they are deeply committed to their partner. The life saving rescue of one swan actually saved both of their lives! God bless our heroes!
Human! Remember...This Is Call 'Love for Life' 🥰 (Thanks for the Rescue Team )
always said animals were better then humans.They don't cheat,lie and their love is true.Very nice video.Thank you.
God created all living things! Thank God for his animals!!!
@@mireillepioger92 Same Here 👍👍👍. Cheers!
@@centuryhousegames733Good advice! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yea well I bet they have trust in each other , an incapable act for humans.
Best thing I’ve seen all week. It brought a wee tear to me eye.
I have no words. Amazing. Beautiful. These ain't enough. It is just a privilege to see them talking to each other.
The news report said that the swans injury was a cut on his beak. And yes, the Toronto wildlife centre do amazing work. We are so lucky to have them up here. This video is so lovely. It just makes you forget all the horror that’s going on outside right now, if only for a moment. We have swans in the park down behind my building and I go down and sit in my car and watch them from time to time. They are such gorgeous birds. Not always very friendly to people, but we’re not there to make friends with them we’re just there to enjoy them.
How touching ❤️❤️ We need to be more like swans.
"I MISSED YOU, I LOVE YOU !!" ❤❤❤❤❤"Where the hell have you been ?"
Omg! So sweet! Who's cutting onions! 💜💜💜💜😭😭😭😭
I hope they get to live a happy healthy life together and people just leave them alone
Beautiful. More proof. Other species have a right to exist and live their lives in peace. Undisturbed by us❤
Those happy wings🎉
So glad they were able to record this!
I hope nothing bad happens to them and will be together for life!
Happy to see there is still some pure innocence in this hateful world.
The unsung heroes of the world. Volunteers are the true angels of this
earth. We salute your dedication and never ending work. The world is
a much better place because of you all. Stay strong and fight the good
fight.
This is beautiful yet rather fowl.
???
@@MikeHawkPEN15it's a pun. Lol.
Doesn't quite work because the story isn't exactly fowl.. it's really a good story, but still clever.
Touche.
🤦🏻♀️
Corny 🥴
That was worth trumpeting about!!!
Bless their hearts! 💖
ADORBS 💯❤swans. Beautiful creatures.
Beautiful
These are the tales that need to be shared. News is always about doom and gloom.
But not all news has to be bad.
"Hello Houston. This is the Odyssey. Its good to see you again." - Jim Lovel.
That is friggin adorable!❤
Thank you for your work and capturing the beautiful reunion with the best possible outcome after the swan was found injured. A great illustration of the beauty of nature.
Thank you Sarah and Toronto Wildlife Center! Great video and appreciate you helping this pair of swans. Please donate!
They look the same. It’s amazing that they recognize each other
They look the same to YOU... 😉☺
We look the same to them
@@M_SCYou asked them?
@@M_SC Perhaps in general, but just as we can get to know & recognize a certain animal, they can do the same with us, generally speaking. Crows for instance...never, ever be mean to a crow. The entire flock will come for you.
Only to a limited small minded human.
That's some sweet love. I should've married a swan.❤
Leda thought that was a good idea too.
Heart warming story!
Just beautiful! 🌟💖
🎉Beautiful to see
Beautiful 😍
What a heartwarming moment to witness! We must continue to learn from nature! Thank you for sharing this incredible moment!!
Swans mate for life and suffer terribly whilst apart.
Thank you so much for helping him and rescuing him for her.
aw... I love spring.
I love the Trumpeter Swans!
So amazing...beautiful. ❤🦢🦢❤
Soooooo cute beautiful 😍 💖
It's a hug-dance-wave. They mirrored each other so beautifully and gracefully.
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS❤❤❤❤❤
Joyous 🦢💖🦢 Reunion
"Nooo way dude. You where not taken by tall featherless beings. It was likely just sleep paralysis."
Do you experience sleep paralysis?
Of course theyre talking to one another !! ❤
WOW !! So sweet & beautiful !! They are soo happy to see each other !!! 😆
Made my day❤
How beautiful is this?
Thank You for sharing!!
This is so beautiful in a world that seems to be full of problems, melted my heart.
Every now and then I see a clip that restores my faith in humanity. Thank you to the rescuers for healing and returning these beautiful creatures back together.
I love this!! Thank you! ❣
Thank you Toronto Wildlife Center for your amazing work! How wonderful! ❤
Beautiful ones...!! If only I could find someone who was that loyal and happy to be with me.
They’re doing a dance that helps them recognize each other and strengthen their bond. It’s a very wholesome sight to see.
Oh my god,where are the issues?! Just beautiful ❤
Well done for helping him and your kindness and understanding of animals..from France.
What a beautiful and uplifting story! 🥰
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Wish we HUMANS also LEARN....How to LIVE TOGETHER with LOVE+PEACE💕 on GOD LAND💚
Nature blessed ❤❤
Emotions at peak to
be at affectionate ❤❤
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
God bless all the people on this planet who rescue and care for animals. You are very special and loved people.
Swans mate for life, unlike humans.
@DestroyerOfLiberals
Speak for yourself.
Been with the same person since I was 15 and he was 16. Never loved anyone else, never will. Its been over 30 years now happy together and with luck we'll have 30 more at least. If one of us died, the other wouldnt remarry. Theres no one else in the world for either of us, but us.
And no, we arent people who think you should save yourself for marriage, believe in a any sort of religion or that we have some kind of morally ideal situation.
People have different lives, should be allowed to live how they choose and its just the way our lives are.
But completely monogamous people do exist. We're probably pretty rare, though.
22 years and still going strong for hubby and me. met at 19 never looked back. We both know there is no one else. We do exist =)
@@coffeeandcupcakes7310💯
27 years with my wife...still madly in love
60 years married to my high school sweetheart and we love each other more now than ever 🥰
So beautiful ❤❤
for real, though, when an animal disappears from the wild, the others of its kind never expect to see it again. the loved one coming back from rehab is a miraculous surprise.
I can’t stop watching this! ❤
Such a beautiful, talkative, feathered couple! 🤍
So beautiful….
So beautiful this really moved me.
Wonderful, just wonderful ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤
See thats true love and beautiful, we humans have so much to learn .
What a beautiful, heartwarming reunion! Thank you for taking such good care of the injured swan and I’m so happy that the pair found each other again! Great job! 💕😊🦢🦢💖👍
❤❤❤❤so sweet 💕😊
As with most swans, Trumpeters mate for life so this behaviour makes sense.
I love this so much . More please 🤍
What a great video!!!!!! Thank you for caring for the swan and then for this great video
He’s in trouble. Lol.
“You got some splainin to do Mr!!
Thanks for sharing
Swans and geese are more intelligent than you’d think. Lovely reunion, beautiful to watch.
They didn't know what happened. They feared for each other's lives. I'm so happy for them.
