The black swans pushed back the crows to protect them

Swans parents coordinate with each other to shield their children and force the Australian crow to abandon its intention to attack.

The black swan strikes the crow.

A resident recorded the scene of the black swan preventing the Australian crow rushing to attack 4 young offspring of Lake Herdsman, Western Australia, on August 26, Newsflare reported. He observed the swan family from the time the cubs ate the algae under the lake with their mother and followed their mother to the grass.

"The Australian crow suddenly swooped down to catch the baby. The swan parents immediately reacted, one shielded the small birds, the other spread the wings to threaten. They took turns to protect the child and push the crow back. The crow's attack ended after more than 20 minutes, the swan parents led their cubs back to the lake, "the cameraman recounted.

The black swan, Cygnus atratus, is a native species of Australia and often lives in the south. They only pair with a mate and often breed in the swamp.
