Living on a pile of rubbish: 'It's not that bad' | BT Society - www.bt.dk Cigarette butts, plastic bags and old takeaway packaging. These are some of the things that have become a fixture when swans build nests in several places in Copenhagen. A B.T. reader spotted over the weekend that the famous national bird was in the process of building a nest inside the lakes, where there was some garbage between all the greenery. But even though it looks violent, it is actually not that bad, says author Pelle Andersen-Harild, who is often referred to as Denmark's leading swan expert. According to Pelle Andersen-Harild, the biggest danger for the swan is that it has built its nest so close to land. "I've seen worse cases, but here it does not look so bad," he says when B.T. shows him the picture of the swan's nest. Swans usually build nests of reeds and aquatic plants, which are subsequently used to incubate the swan's eggs. And according to Pelle Andersen-Harild, there are two things in particular about the rubbish that can pose a danger to the kids. ‘If there is a sharp object in the waste, it can puncture a hole in the egg. In addition, waste is not very heat-insulating, so the eggs risk getting cold, "says the swan expert. In 2018, a swan also made a nest of rubbish by the Lakes in Copenhagen. According to Pelle Andersen-Harild, one should not be afraid that the swans will be suffocated in the waste. This is because the famous fairytale bird does not eat garbage. Still, the swan expert has a clear call to all who throw rubbish in the lakes. »Let go now! Humans are some pigs when we throw rubbish into the lakes. There we have a common responsibility to get better, "says Pelle Andersen-Harild. on free foot abroad abroad Heunicke: Review Fears the worst abroad scandal school 'It hurts fucking' Berlingske Media A / S Pilestræde 34 DK-1147 Copenhagen KTlf. +45 33 75 75 33 CVR.no .: 29 20 73 13
