Today, in the afternoon, Uzhgorod was alarmed with a news: one of the swans, who live on the river in the city center, was in trouble.
One of the birds (probably, female, as it was smaller) had a bloody spot on its wing and could not fly. People called the police and rescuers.
After 18.00, representatives of the State Emergencies Service launched a rescue operation. Rescuers had to use the boat, because water was quite deep. Two swans, presumably, a couple, flew away – and it was a beautiful, albeit an alarming sight. Another bird, probably the partner of the wounded swan, stayed there, until the rescuers got too close. The chase was unpleasant and long.
Finally, they managed to surround the frightened bird with the help of civilians and then caught it. The bird was immediately taken to a veterinarian.
We hope that the swan’s wing will quickly heal and that the Uzhgorod white-winged symbol – the beautiful swans – will be well.
