A pair of swans from the municipal pond in Bolesławiec is building a nest. For the first time, the birds have chosen a location that is inaccessible and sheltered from the eyes of the curious. Interestingly, just a few days ago the swans were building a nest elsewhere, close to the railing (on the side facing the Piarist school).
People from the Klekusiowo Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (which cares for the animals living in the pond) arrived at the site and managed to install a nest shelter so that the birds would not be exposed to stress from walkers.
Ultimately, however, the swans changed the nest’s location and decided to build it in a completely new and inaccessible place—see the photos. This time, no one will disturb them.
Will the pair of birds have cygnets this year?

Please do not feed the birds bread!
Taking this opportunity, once again we appeal, remind you and ask you not to feed birds bread. This food is unhealthy for them and may cause various digestive system diseases, as well as so-called angel wing. In extreme cases, it can also cause a bird’s death. The same applies to feeding them all kinds of biscuits, snacks, crisps, and so on.
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 feeder located by the pond. You can also purchase special, healthy food at pet shops. An information board was recently installed by the municipal pond, explaining what to feed waterfowl.
