    My mind did not register swan at first for some reason. I pictured a goose for some reason. I was confused and just thought that the guy should have just open hand popped it in the face and it would back down. Geese nest all the time in my area, so fighting off a goose is fairly normal … but then I registered “Swan”. Nope, you don’t want to mess with it.

      Every year my fiance go down to the pond down the road and make friends with the Canadian geese. Everyone here seems to hate them, but they’re lovely when you are kind to them. I don’t know much about swans. They’re definitely bigger and more robust, so I’m sure they could hurt someone real bad. But I don’t actively try to engage wildlife in combat, so I feel like I’d be ok around them.
