Unfortunately, they aimed directly for the swan’s nest where the eggs were being nested. There were six eggs altogether. The attack destroyed three of her eggs right away. A couple more of the swan’s eggs were lost in the span of a few days. This made matters even worse for the mother swan.
She seemed visually heartbroken at what had happened. Adding to her misery, the male swan also abandoned the nest after the attacks. Experts suspect that the male swan left because of unbearable stress. This made the mother swan all alone in her nest. She eventually died after a few days.
Researchers at the Swan Sanctuary have stated that it was common for the swans to disappear after their children or the mate is dead. They mourn for a particular period and then fly away or join a new group.
