SHY BIRDS THAT LOSE THEIR FEAR OF MAN under stress of cold and hunger. An enormous gathering of wild swans and ducks in the harbour at Landskrona, Sweden, during a rigorous winter when Oresund, the sound between Sweden and Denmark, was completely) frozen. Although these birds are of most retiring habits, during an icy winter more than 1000 swans, half dead from cold and starvation, have found shelter in the harbour of Landskrona, where the people feed them with corn and bread. The swans lose their natural fear of human beings to such an extent that they sometimes fly into the town and walk about the streets.
