Swans are the horses of birds

intriguing thesis, but i think herons cause more existential horror

Herons are the hippopotamus of birds 

i agree. hippopotamus cause existential horror and aren’t usually considered beautiful or graceful in the same way horses and swans are. it’s the combination of perceived grace and grim reality that makes a horse

good point
