11/22/2004: Annual swan roundup
 So you thought the beatiful swans on your favorite waterway just magically appeared there as if it was, as Douglas Adams might have put it, "artistically correct"? Not in the case of the swans found in Hamburg, Germany, where it's this guy's job to round them up in the fall so they can be housed, fed, and cared for until the spring. |

Those are some big ass birds. It's nice they're looking after them for the winter.

Is the same team that rounds up America's ugliest people for that new "Reality" show of the same name?

Man...talk about a low-tech job. So this guy just reaches into the canal, grabs the bird, and ties its wings down with baling twine?

That's nice that the swans are cared for during winter. Lucky for them to be housed and fed while other birds and wildlife are freezing their behinds off during winter. Mind you, all the swans in the boats look quite relaxed and probably are quite used to this happening.

I'm surprised he doesn't at least have a face shield on.

I think they would be best "En Croute" drizzled with balsamic something or other.
