Not a actual swan, it's a swan goose/Guinea goose/Chinese goose (Anser cygnoides).

It's basic physics : the more massive a creature is, the more force it needs to accelerate to a given speed.
A rooster will outspeed a goose that is probably a bit stronger but more than twice its weight.

Humans this smart are also smart enough not to overpopulate whereas humans not this smart would procreate as much as possible. You clearly are not one of the smart ones if you couldn't figure this out.

>Do you remember the name of the medication/antibiotic the doctors used?
Opti pack e. I knew it was supposed to stay in the ear working for a while, but I figured by now it would be done. I guess that could still be bugging him though. I can't smell the medicine or anything else, and his ear doesn't look bad. I have to go back to the vet to get their booster shots in two weeks, so I'll talk to them about it when I go back to get their FeLV boosters. Also I have been sleeping throughout the night more than usual (was able to be up when their most active but schedule changed) so maybe he's been playing with his sibling while I'm asleep or just got a bit depressed that I'm not awake when he is anymore.

>Did anything in his routine change lately that could cause that?
no, he’s not lethargic nor have discharge what i know of
>Does he have any other symptoms like scratching more often
yes, he scratches his head with his front paw oftenish for me to have noticed and he goes absolutely ham on scratching his ears — we do try and clean them out every day
>puking more often or pimples around the chin
no and have not checked
>Has anything new been introduced into his diet or into your home lately?
i introduced raw meat, as previously mentioned, as a supplement to his reggo wet/dry food

wish we could afford a visit to the vet, and here’s another pic of the guy
>>
>>4790674
Well if you can't afford the vet there's not much you can do I guess. Sniffles and scratching sort of sounds like allergies, in which case feeding only meat might help find out if it's the case. From what I know, feline allergies are generally caused by the protein source, usually beef or fish, so what meat do you feed? Also I hope you're aware cats need more than meat, but bones and organs as well to get all their necessary nutrients. I'm not really knowledgeable on that topic though.

Alternatively if you can get your hands on some corticosteroids like prednisolone, it's really cheap to procure. If you manage you could try giving your cat 5 mg per 10lb per day for a week and see if it improves anything. If it does you can decrease the dose gradually to 2.5 every day, 2.5 every 2 days, to find the right dosage. And if it doesn't you still have to wean it off gradually but at least you'd know it's not that. Wouldn't recommend without a vet's guidance though as steroids have secondary effects especially long term.

it's not all birds that are like that, geese and swans in particular are ground nesting birds, and are more exposed to predation as a result. Even their babies can't fly for a while, and they're down on the ground where everything can get at them, so over time the chicks with aggressive protective parents had a higher survival rate, and basically all the chill geese got eaten.
