Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Catherine - 03-07-2014 We have a lot of swans and sometimes one can get caught in the ice. I am glad we have such dedicated people that go to their rescue. http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/swan-rescued-from-frozen-toronto-harbour-1.1713448 Of course I don't blame them for being careful. The swans are big and this one was not very happy. RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Tobi - 03-08-2014 Oh I am so glad they managed to rescue that swan! Firemen to the rescue again! Bless them. RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Catherine - 03-08-2014 What would we do without Firemen. They were brave. Being out on the ice is risky. Rescuing a swan is very risky. They are not a passive bird and they are quite strong. I am glad the bird is well and on his way. RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Cibach - 03-15-2014 For all their beauty, swans are feisty and protective of their families and themselves. Well done to the brave Fire fighters, yet again!! RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Catherine - 03-16-2014 The swans are as feisty as our Canada Geese. They look so peaceful, but it takes a brave firefighter to tackle one. I am glad he was found in time to be rescued. RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Tobi - 03-17-2014 Yes Swans can be very fierce! And they pack a heck of a bite when they want to! RE: Swan rescue in Toronto Harbour - Catherine - 03-17-2014 I have heard of swans chasing people. I know when I was having lunch under a tree when a Canada Goose decided that she wanted to sit under that tree. She ran at me hissing and I moved. Swans and geese can really bite. I wasn't going to stick around to see if she planned to bite me.
