So swans are just jerks, basically

I was going to write about how amused I am by the phrase "Aggressive Swan", and how bad I feel about said amusement, because I'd heard it in association with the story about the kayaker who died at the hands, or the beak, of one.


But then while looking for linkage to the story, I saw the words Killer Swan.
Killer Swan!
How awful is it that this poor man is dead and all I can do is wonder if Nancy Grace will be discussing this on her show. Hearing and seeing Nancy Grace talk about Killer Swans would be hilarious.

Did you know that there are gay swans? As in, like, homosexual? Well, there are, lots of them, mostly among the male of the species. You don't see many Sapphic Swan pairings. But, among black swans, up to a quarter of the couple pairings are homosexual males. Interesting, huh?

They actually sound kind of douchey, these gay black swans. Get this, they steal baby swans from their straight neighbors nests to raise as their own. Okay well, not babies, technically. They steal eggs. But everyone knows an egg and a baby are the same exact thing, so it's just as bad. Or even more douchebaggishly, they'll go so far as to bring a girl swan into a three-way polyamorous type relationship, only to kick her out after she lays the eggs.

Assholes.

They're kind of beautiful, though, aren't they?
And isn't that always the way?
