A couple of swans performed a sensual dance on the lake in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (video)

A pair of red-knitting click swans showed a sensual dance on one of the lakes in the Minusinsk municipal district. Photos of birds appeared in the telegram channel of the regional forest-fire center.

During the dance, the birds glided smoothly along the mirror surface of the lake, gracefully bending the neck. A small swan acted as the viewer. During migration to the southern seas, they usually stay together at the feed stops. A series of impressive personnel was made by Maxim Dryukov, deputy head of the Minusinsk forest firefire station.

Swan-clicun got its name for a loud voice, reminiscent of the sound of the pipe: “Krru, Krru-Ru.” The neck usually holds vertically, the head is directed forward, and the yellow-black beak is horizontally. He is fast and strong. In case of persecution, it is not even to catch up with a boat. A powerful blow of the swan wing can break the hand of the child.

“Meeting the clicons swans is a great success. They are careful, almost always choose remote secluded ponds. After beautiful courtship, couples are created and housing are built. The male turns his tail to the intended “foundation”, collects plants in the beak and abruptly throws them behind their backs. The female shakes the building material and forms the nest. Then she is on the eggs. He is on guard of the family. Alien from his territory decisively and harshly drives away, ”the forestry center said.

Click-clicons feed with various algae. The main tool for eating is a long neck. How much it turned out to be lowered into the water, there is food. Parents take care of the offspring together: they feed, teach to swim and dive, protect against predators.

Recall that earlier the expedition conducted on the territory of the Sayano-Shushensky reserve brought valuable photos and videos with the Irbis family.
