Updating...The injured cygnet (3 month-old and healthy now) was reunited with its family 8 days ago. Initially was well accepted, but later the father started to peck its tail and chase it away, so next day the cygnet found its way to another pond, where it feeds and seems be safe among other ducks. Ocasionally parents fly there to feed, but they ignore each other.
Is it possible to make it to adulthood by itself, and will their siblings join it when they'll be pushed away in few months?
Thanks!
