We have already reported in August about birds leaving the pond area. At that time, the swans were seen on the green areas on the side of Bankowa Street. This morning, the swans once again left the pond, crossed Kubika Street and grazed on the lawn in the square near the children’s home.
We appeal to drivers to exercise caution on the roads around the pond. Swans move clumsily on land and may be hit by a car.
The swans from the municipal pond in Bolesławiec are not aggressive and do not attack people. Instead, they attract the interest of passers-by, especially children.
We ask parents not to let their children approach the birds too closely. Although the swans in Bolesławiec are tame, if they feel threatened, they may peck or strike with a wing, which, given the bird’s size and strength, can be very dangerous for a child.
We appeal to you: do not feed the birds bread!
Taking this opportunity, once again we appeal, remind and ask you not to feed the birds bread. This food is unhealthy for them and may cause various digestive diseases, as well as so-called angel wing. In extreme cases, it may also cause the bird’s death. The same applies to feeding them all kinds of biscuits, crisps, chips, etc.
If, while in the area of the municipal pond in Bolesławiec, we want to give the birds something healthy to eat, it is best to use the duck-feeding dispenser located by the pond. You can also buy special, healthy food at pet shops.
