Jersey helicopter-loving swan has wings clipped

[Jimbuna]

Possibly not of interest to most but I thought it was a warming story.


A swan in Jersey has had its wings clipped for a second time after falling in love with a helicopter.
Whooper, who lives at a country club close to the island's airport, lost his partner two years ago.
Last year he took a shine to a blue helicopter and flew towards its whirring blades each time it came into land at Jersey airport.

When was I in high school I had two ducks one male and one female and they where partners they would always be side by side and if one of the cats got too close they would grab it by the neck and pin it to the ground.:har:

Anyway one day someones dog got loose and killed the female duck the male managed to jump into a pond and he swam in circles with dog trying to catch him of course he was too fast and the dog was tiring.I could see that it was going to drown trying to catch my duck and I was going to allow him to do just that.Lucky for that stupid dog his owner swam out and saved him.

The male duck then developed an affection for one of the cats but the cat disliked the duck thanks to his previous pinning tactics so the duck then fell in love with my dads car although I think it would more accurate to say that he fell in love the reflection which he could see on the paint.
