Swans use their serrated beaks and sharp claws to defend themselves, much like the blade of an ice skate. My connection to this theme comes from volunteering every summer at a bird rescue with my dad, where I’ve cared for sick and injured birds- including six swans. In winter, when the pond freezes over, I’m reminded of their strength and resilience.
