A local security guard recently discovered a peculiar scene where black swans can be seen feeding goldfish near the shore of a lake located in Hangzhou, China. According to the guard, 9 black swans will climb onto a raft and start feeding the goldfish with their beaks at 10am every morning. The goldfish can always be seen following the swans closely after that. Locals were astonished to find such an affectionate tie existing between the two creatures.

but what amazes me is that humans can't comprehend that animals form bonds with each other, both inter- and intra-species :shrug:

6. I have a macaw that likes to feed dogs and chickens.

When he is up high he will intentionally throw his food down for the chickens. In our back yard we had a "feeding platform" for the cats and one day he was up there throwing food down on the ground while the dogs were scrambling around for it, so we put some dog food up there instead of cat food and a new play activity for the bird was invented.

Now, if he is on the ground he won't let those same dogs any where near their food dishes.
