Baby Swans "Jump" Into Water (Version 2) 

Because they are cute

You're welcome. I'm happy that you liked it.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the comment. And I agree.

Perfectly logical, maybe.

LOL! does not really matter, I guess that interpretation is as good as any other. Thanks.

BTW, how did you know which adult swan is the male? I can tell by getting a good look at the facial knob, having visited these birds for years. Blue Boy (papa) has the rounder knob, while Blanche (mama) has a flattened one.

SF Videos I was looking at the behavior of parents and cygnets both. The babies often follow their mama the most. The cob is the primary defender, the pen is the primary nurturer but both parents will defend or nurture. When walking about, it is often (not always) the pen that leads and the cygnets follow her and the cob follows behind. He will rush to get between any potential danger and his mate or cygnets so there are times it varies. So to bottom line it - it was a guess, I couldn't know just from their behavior. I was making a joke but was seriously asking if anyone knows what the tail waggle means! PS Was I right in my guess?

Excellent observations, Julie. It's kind of tricky to tell from the video, but I think you did correctly identify the cob. So, little Miss Know-It-All, why are swans called cobs and pens? ; )

You are SO right!

Sí. Muchas gracias.

Yes, I think that would be okay.
