A swan chick waddled all alone to the ancient city of Melk; the nest was probably washed away by the heavy rain. Brave policewomen rescue the motherless cub.
The swan “Fridolin” performed a heartbreaking rescue operation on Sunday evening. The police received a report that “a stray duck” had been sighted. When they arrived on the scene, police officers Lisa and Steffi from the Loosdorf police station did not find a duck, but rather a swan chick that was almost a week old.
It had come to the old center of Melk all alone. There was no sign of the parents or siblings of little ‘Fridolin’ – as the chick was affectionately called.
Nest washed away
The young animal has had a turbulent start to life: its nest was probably washed away by heavy rainfall. The courageous policewomen took “Fridolin” to the office and asked the Mostpfoten-Hilfe animal rescue service for help. The swan is lovingly cared for there. “We wish ‘Fridolin’ all the best!” said his rescuers.
