Guest Heart Thursday meme! Also: not really mute, just less vocal - The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor), dorincard created with a rare educational card (not a "real postcard")

How many hearts do YOU see in this image of a dorincard (in this case, the dorincard is a non-traditional maximum card/ maxicard)?
I see 2.
Hint: they are NOT bi-dimensional, 2-D in the context of the image.

One heart is suggested by a joint venture. To find such a heart, you have to look for a DEER one, after you get tired of living the WILD LIFE, using your EAGLE vision, multi-TUSKing and wandering from BUSH to BUSH [there are two bushes in the postmark, I might specify].

The other heart is suggested by a temporary pose, like The Cotton Tale of  The Missing Chunk. Not cotton-tail , the rabbit.
There might be many incomplete, fragmented, or broken hearts out here, "in the wild".
How about "in the domestic"? Domestique...
:)

"The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan, and thus a member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species.^[1][2][3] Measuring 125 to 170 centimetres in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange bill bordered with black. It is recognisable by its pronounced knob atop the bill."

Rail against the Keeling zone: The Cocos Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis andrewsi). WWF maximum cards/ maxicards/ dorincards from Cocos/Keeling Islands. Also a list of memes for each of the 7 days.

"The Cocos Buff-banded Rail, Gallirallus philippensis andrewsi, is an endangered subspecies of the Buff-banded Rail endemic to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian Offshore Territory in the central-eastern Indian Ocean.^[2] The local Cocos Malay name of the bird is Ayam Hutan("Chicken of the Forest").^[3]"

^"Population size is estimated as 850-1000 birds, with a population density of 7-8 birds/ha.^[4]"

^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocos_Buff-banded_Rail}

So 7-8 birds/ha...Huh? So there are fewer birds, 850-1000, than the number of stories that this woman told: "Scheherazade (pronounced /ʃəˌhɛrəˈzɑːdᵊ/), sometimes Scheherazadea, Persian transliteration Shahrazad or Shahrzād (Persian: شهرزاد Šahrzād, Arabic Šahrazād), is a legendary Persian queen and the storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights."
