Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):Mama’s back! After 10 days with us, she reunited with her mate Biggie in Prospect Park, and they greeted each other according to the traditional rituals. Ideally, she could have spent a few more days with us working on her waterproofing, but she was becoming agitated and depressed in care, so we opted to return her now and let her continue to waterproof on site. Mama, aka Paulette, had become partially coated in a tarlike substance and needed multiple baths to remove it, as well as treatment for any she had ingested. We’re happy to see the family back together! Thanks to the Swan Squad! Here’s hoping for a summer free of swan drama. 🦢 🎥: @MBPurdyArtz
