Gay Swans in Austria Attacked Humans to Protect Their Adopted Baby: A Plastic Cup

A pair of swans in Austria have been forcibly removed from the lake they called home after a series of violent, escalating attacks to defend their nest from intrusive humans.

The twist in this case is the swans weren't biological parents, but appear to have been two gay male swans who had formed an inseparable bond – and the nest they were protecting didn't actually contain eggs or cygnets, but at least one colourful plastic cup.

That minor technical point didn't seem to matter too much to the doting dad and dad, though, who treated the responsibility of protecting their plastic proxy with dangerous, almost deadly seriousness.

Last summer, the pair were known to approach people and boats and display aggressive gestures, but this year the attacks "reached a new dimension", according to the mayor of Grundlsee, Franz Steinegger, in the Austrian state of Styria.

"They have thrown themselves on the swimmers, trying to submerge them," Steinegger told Kleine Zeitung. "That was the biggest danger."

While nobody drowned, numerous bathers and people simply strolling beside the lake are reported to have suffered attacks – and some of them were serious.

Several swimmers in fact required hospitalisation, with one of them receiving a deep flesh wound to the head courtesy of the protective parents.

"We had to act urgently," Steinegger told the Daily Mail. "But I simply didn't have the heart to have the two swans killed by a hunter."

So what I get out of this is being gay in a nature thing? Or are these swans mentally ill?

Referring to animals by a human euphemism is pretty stupid as well, by the way.

It's cool. To be honest, I didn't even really notice the title, but I read the article where they did that several times, and the thought occurred to me.

A little from column A, a little from column B, I think.

How else would you describe necrophilliac penguin acts?

They're just fighting over who gets to practice for the ladies. On their cousin's cold corpse.



Birds are dinosaurs and dinosaurs are nasty motherfuckers.

Are the swans trying to use their homosexuality to excuse their violent, abhorrent behaviour against these swimmers?

No swans! You do not get to hide behind a rainbow shield! It didn’t work for Kevin Spacey, you don’t get to do it either!
