Swan egg fiasco was man-made


Folks this is just a clarification on an earlier post about a swan's egg being taken from her nest...I have just been informed that no animal had any part to play in this particular incident.
The fact that a human being was responsible was taking the egg, allegedly home for the 'enjoyment' of his youngster is completely bonkers.
This reminds me of the character of Verucca Salt in Roal Dahl's classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who wanted everything under the moon and stars, including an Ooompa Loompa for herself, quicker than quick. I want it NOW! she screams in the movie if I remember correctly.
But anyways, moving on apparently this swan's eggs still haven't hatched so it remains to be seen if taking the egg away from the warmth of the nest will have an impact on its chances of survival in the hardy world of the Waterworks. Time will tell.
