April 11, 2007: Swan feeds carp
Nature gone wrong day two: the official cap says a black swan feeds carp at a wildlife park in Shenzhen, in south China's Guangdong province. It's a nice IotD because it's colorful, but what makes this swan decide to feed fish instead of feeding itself? Maybe the bird has learned animal husbandry and is breeding these fish long-term for the finest of seafood dinners. |

This is actually caused by a fairly common condition that forces the the Swan to regurgitate it's food into the fishes' mouths.
It's called Carp Pool Funnel Syndrome. lol!!!

I wonder if the swan lost its babies, and feels compelled to continue its mothering instincts. But with fish? Why not with a cute panda, or something?

This isn't anything gone "wrong" or that strange. I've seen pics over the years of birds feeding koi or carp. It's simple mothering instinct. Birds are conditioned to drop food into any gaping, begging mouth. They will even feed people.

Why just last night a medium sized chicken fed 2 adults and one child, with enough left over for 1 more adult to have lunch today.

looks more like the swan is smelling them - maybe its trying to tell them they have B.O.
