Stranded tundra swan to hitch a ride with Air Canada!!!

The tundra swan that's swimming in a small pool in Edmonton right now could soon find more paddling space off the B.C. coast.

Air Canada has offered a free flight to Vancouver for the swan, which is currently being cared for by the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Edmonton.

The swan arrived at the shelter in October with a fractured wing.

The injury is now healed, but it can't stay at the shelter for the winter.

These birds don't do well in captivity, said Cheryl Feldstein, the society's executive director, adding she is very pleased with the airline's offer of a free flight. More...
