Co-flying with swans and geese

Thursday, April 18, 2024

Swans and geese fly together in harmony across the clear blue spring sky...

The signal for them to take off is that the geese shake their heads from side to side and the swans shake their heads up and down!

Is the lifestyle similar?

Even in the same rice field, they coexist in groups, pecking at food together in harmony, and flying together in the spring sky is a truly heartwarming sight.
