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?

Just be aware that the King owns all mute swans in open waters, so no nonsense with them or you'll get a sharp massive from Sandringham.

But if they’re mute, they can’t talk. So no snitches

Not a swan but my aunty got her leg broken by an angry goose, it was her own goose too 😂. My husband got badly attacked by a seagull a couple of years ago whilst fixing a roof where they obviously had a nest. Luckily he was wearing a hat !

To make friends with a swan to bow to it and if it bows back then it likes you 😊

Swans are intrinsically, inherently and unapologetically unreasonable.

Hardly surprising when they've had to deal with humans for so long.

HTH.
