The “Swan Father” Getting Swans To Safety — A Tumblr Thread

I’ve learned about a lot of interesting things thanks to Tumblr. Most recently, this thread about Olaf, the “Swan Father.” Now, you’re probably wondering what that means and I’ll let the thread do most of the talking. But, Olaf’s job is to literally round up all of the swans in Hamburg and get them to safety before the winter chill sets in. This has to be the most random and interesting job I’ve ever heard of.
