On the morning of the 6th of this month, staff at the administrative center of Wuling Farm heard a knocking sound. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that two black swans were knocking on the door. It was then realized that the employee who usually feeds the swans was on holiday that day. Other staff members quickly took the swans to the pool and prepared their breakfast.
Today, Wuling Farm released surveillance footage showing the two black swans knocking on the door at 8:03 AM. Staff immediately brought out food to feed them. The footage from the administrative center shows that on the morning of the 6th, staff were coming and going from the office. At 8:03 AM, the two black swans arrived and knocked on the door. A male employee was surprised and took out his phone to capture the moment.
At 8:09 AM, personnel brought out feed to feed the swans. The main person responsible for feeding the black swans is Administrative Officer Dai Xiaoling from the Wuling Farm Tourism Administration Section. She feeds the swans every morning before starting work at 8:00 AM. However, during the Qingming Festival holiday, she was absent, and the swans came to the administrative center to knock on the door. Her colleagues discovered her absence and quickly fed the swans.
On the morning of the 6th, the Wuling Farm Facebook editor posted a photo of the two black swans standing outside the administrative center door, appearing to knock. The editor wrote, "The owner is not here today, so the black swan babies came to the door asking for feed." After seeing the photo, netizens commented that the swans were very polite and that animals are truly intelligent. One netizen wrote, "Honored guests have arrived; hurry up and open the middle gate to welcome them."
Wuling Farm stated that the staff inside the administrative center heard the knocking sound and saw the two black swans standing at the main gate, using their beaks to knock on the door. They then realized that the employee who usually feeds them was on holiday and quickly arranged for someone to prepare breakfast for the polite swans.
