Description
This swan is definitely not injured! Mute Swans are beautiful birds, but when we see one with a seemingly misplaced foot, it is somewhat disconcerting. This is, however, quite common for many birds to rest or stretch a leg, which is what this swan is doing. This practice is also a way for this Mute Swan to regulate its body temperature. They can gently swim using just the submerged foot to paddle, but this relaxation technique is often worrisome to humans watching them.
This would make an interesting throw pillow, shower curtain, puzzle, mug, or greeting card, in addition to wall art choices. Please visit lindabrittain.pixels.com for MANY other gift and home decor suggestions.
