Can display aggressive territorial behavior toward humans if they

young. A mute swan can have a wingspan of 6 feet and is readily
capable of breaking bones and

And that is no joke. We were once dive bombed by a swan while
riding in the dinghy, apparentlly having gotten too close to a nesting
area. It was like having a 747 coming at us at close range.
As the article says, ducks and geese will not mess with a swan. Of
course the so called "Canadian Geese" are a huge pest also, and
should now be called American geese since most of them haven't flown
north in years.


Both species should be targeted and destroyed...
