"Oh, you want to see - yeah, that post on Instagram about them really took off, huh? No - no, it's real, there's lots of examples of homosexual behavior in nature and this is one of them. They've been together for about seven years now? Derek - that's the swan - used to be with another swan, Kate, but she was. She was a real problem. We used to catch her breaking their own eggs and eating them, and she was always bullying Derek when they weren't actually mating, hissing at him and plucking his feathers - he's actually still got a bald spot, but swans mate and sometimes that's it - we couldn't get Derek away from her.
Not until Stiles. He just showed up one day - actually, he showed up trapped in a plastic Target bag and we had to rescue him, and once he saw Derek he imprinted immediately. At first he'd just sort of hanging around, dong his own goose thing and sadly watching Der and Kate gliding around from a distance, but the first time he saw Kate plucking it was on. He went AFTER her - they were fighting all the time, we had to use nets, it was disturbing all the other birds - eventually we decided to catch and collar Kate and have her transferred to a different sanctuary. She was already on thin ice with us, anyway, since she was an egg-breaker.
So it's not like we were going to get cynets from Derek anyway, and when he finally let Stiles get up close and sweet with him, and share his nest - well. We all like Stiles, even if he is an idiot who needs rescuing about once a week. Derek does a lot of the heavy lifting for that, anyway. Like when Stiles got his head caught in a -
Oh, the babies? Uh, let me see . . . That's Erica and that's Isaac - they're the cygnets Stiles lured away from Jackson and Lydia, who are a pair that actually breeds. Boyd is an orphaned gosling Derek brought home.
Yeah, no, it's adorable. We know.
. . . that's a little exaggerated. I mean, I like Wodehouse as much as anyone, but swans do sometimes mind their own business . . . unless you get anywhere near Stiles. Then bets are off. We actually can't have female geese around because Derek gets very jealous and LOUD-'
