swan uses roosterblock
 
it’s super effective.

silly goose, u can’t have them swans

We have swans who nest on our lake, which we appreciate because they keep the geese away but leave the ducks alone.

I got stuck on the cute part of the internet looking at protective mother images because of this pic. XD

Trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) honk, hence the name. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) don’t honk, hence the name.

Wait a sec…isn’t it the geese that honk, not the swans?

Swans are vicious. When my dad was working for parks & rec somebody decided it was a great idea to have swans in the lagoon of one of the fancier parks. They were cared for like zoo animals because swans don’t do well in the wild in this region. They were beautiful but they attacked children and killed ducklings. After a couple tragedy-filled years the powers that be finally decided to send the swans somewhere else to live. The swan barn is now a storage shed.

You know that story of the ugly ducking? They never did say how she ended up on “the inside”.
 
Also, Swanlestia + Momlestia = ???
 
“Swomlestia”?

Yep, the swans down at the local pond are pretty vicious assholes to the ducks.

@lasty  
HONK!

Careful of swan wings, they can break bones. Those buggers are nasty when they’re angry.  
Also, congrats to dm29 for the 13,000th Princess Cadance picture.

My dad would attest as well. Rowed too close to a swan’s nest while he was fishing a couple years ago. Might as well of been a demon attacking him.

I laughed so hard at the description for some reason.

This was the moment when Celestia’s mind got replaced by a swan due to a freak accident.

I’d love to see more overprotective Celestia.

Celestia has an odd way of asking to join them in a-…oh, safe image.  
She’s just coughing.

And then she creams him with her oversized wing.
 
Like what the swans do.

Swans are some scary things, I can attest from personal experience with large birds.
