“It was like a magical romance moment from the movies,” said TWC Volunteer Ann, recounting when these trumpeter swan mates reunited after days of being apart. “It was so beautiful, I’ve never seen anything like that in the last 12 years!” 

On Monday at Bluffer’s park, Ann became concerned when she spotted one of the swans with blood on his feathers. As a long-time volunteer, she knew he needed immediate help and contacted TWC’s Rescue Team.

At the shore’s edge, team member Sarrah spotted the swan out on the water, with his head tucked beneath his wing. Eventually, he swam towards a shallow bay area, where Sarrah skillfully lured the wounded animal close enough to catch him with a net and rush him to TWC. 

Although the blood appeared concerning, the source was only a small cut on his beak that was thoroughly cleaned and treated. This same swan had been admitted before back in December, needing urgent care after his beak and tongue had become bound by fishing line. 

The blood had affected the waterproofing of the patient’s feathers. But after a few days of supportive care from the Rehabilitation Team - who ensured he was preening properly so his waterproofing could be restored - he was ready for release!

Back at Bluffer’s park, Ann and friends of TWC, Art, Deborah and Shona, prepared to release the bird. As Shona opened the kennel door to let him out, they all witnessed this remarkable and truly touching display. 💚 A big thank you to Deborah (whose recording was used in this video) and Shona for filming the special moment and sharing it with TWC's community! 05/05/2024
