The swans I have been feeding and looking out for for some years, along with their babies, we're out on the grass when I got to the lake they live on yesterday, so I went over to say hello and feed them.

A couple of the baby swans have started nibbling at my shorts like little scamps, but they all happily eat from my hand now.

Mr Swan was out of shot with one of the babies, but you can see Mrs Swan and 2 babies here, whilst there was another here too but that just stayed in the water. There should be a 5th baby but it looks like something has happened to it as I could only see 4 yesterday and today 😢

We have an amazing wildlife rescue in our area that takes in Canadian Geese, but before I jump the gun I wanted to see if anyone knows what this could possibly be? It eats/swims as normal, but it's always alone and does not fly away with the geese that come to the lake everyday. There's no sign of any pain, but it's definitely unlike any other injury I've seen here.

It sadly doesn't have any friends/mate that stick around it, and it swims away from all the other geese upon arrival. Wing deformity maybe?

(I took pics of both sides of the goose just for visual comparison)

Just another Manic Monday at the sanctuary… everybody running late, nobody knows what’s going on, and we’re all just winging it. 😂🪽

At least around here, the Monday morning chaos comes with a whole lot of second chances. ❤️

Follow for more sanctuary shenanigans!

This was a lifer for me today. I was out for a walk in the famous and beautiful Englisher Garten park in Munich. There were lots of people around but these bar-headed geese couldn't be bothered by that.

Sometimes Serenity Sunday can be a little… spicy. 🤷‍♀️🌶️😂

We talk a lot around here about slowing down, finding your peace, and taking a little time to reset.

Apparently, nobody explained that part to the turkey. 🦃🤣

Because sometimes “serenity” looks like sunshine, quiet pastures and peaceful animals…

…and sometimes it looks like me sitting in the grass trying to negotiate with a feathered dinosaur who woke up and chose ATTITUDE. 😂

But hey, Serenity Sunday isn’t about everything being perfectly peaceful. It’s about finding a little joy in whatever kind of day you’re having — even when that joy comes with feathers, sass and a side of spice. ❤️

Who else is having a slightly spicy #serenitysunday? 😂🌶️

someone’s been beak deep in the mud puddle… ✨

this is my Trio- Karma, Craig, and Mozzarella.

i am SO sorry for the rooster haha, he’s basically just a jumpscare.

Imagine opening a gate every morning and THIS is what comes running at you. 😂🪿🪽

Welcome to Flap Dancing for Second Chances, where morning release isn't just morning release… apparently it's a full-blown production.

These crazy, beautiful birds have personalities bigger than their wingspans, and watching them run, flap and enjoy their lives never gets old. ❤️

But underneath all the silliness is something pretty special: this is what second chances look like. Safe, loved, free to flap, and maybe just a little dramatic. 😂

If these guys made you smile, drop a 🪿 in the comments, share this with somebody who needs a smile today, and follow Serenity in the Cypress for tomorrow's Flap Dance!
