He also explores a nest of sparrows and a duck decoy, but there's no acceptance there, either (the decoy bonks him on the head like one of those drinking birds). But just when he's feeling worst, a family of swans comes by, and he's got a new family. (imdb)

The ferocious Bear always offended the Hare, and he was very afraid of him and did not dare to stand up for himself. And this went on, probably for a long time, if there had not been one incident.

They were picked up by a Hare, hooked on its head and immediately changed him. In the river, he first saw his reflection with feathers, like a mighty eagle.
