Can display aggressive territorial behavior toward humans if they approach the birds' nest or
young. 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.
Kill 'em, kill 'em all...they interfered with a boat ride.
And Harry fails miserably to see the point, as usual. Harry do you want
to save the Zebra Mussels from death, too? How about Pythons in south
FL? Snakehead fish? Asian carp? The list goes on!
Wait till mussel seeds get into his engine and grow. He'll see the
point then.
His car or riding mower? He's boatless.
