Genuine question: Are Swans Being Unreasonable?

Has anyone ever actually had their arm broken by a swan? It’s something we have all said at some point, but has it ever actually happened to you or anyone you know?

And swans are unreasonable. They always turn their beaks up at her oats DD tried to feed them. They prefer crappy white bread even though the oats are better for them. Dumb snooty birds

I thought you meant the rugby team 🤣

Haha, I grew up being told that a swan could break your arm with their wings.
It is in the same category of things that you were told were dangerous, but they have never been a threat in real adult life... like quick sand.

I’ve apprehended a swan before now (I was helping it, I promise 🤣) and they’re not particularly strong.

They have a bit of a bite on them though if you hand feed them, they have a tendency to grab your fingers with their serrated beaks 😫

I'm fairly sure that's a goose

It hasn’t, and I really don’t believe it, but I’m not willing to put it to the test.

That's a goose isn't it? (The big white bird... in the gif?)

And no --- swans are not being unreasonable. I have never known anyone have their arm broken by one!

Apparently they don't really break your arm but I wouldn't risk it.
