A mute swan can have a wingspan of 6 feet and is readily capable of breaking bones and causing severe injury. === 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... \ Pig -- http://flickr.com/gp/hakr/oR82kN |
