Swans and Canada Geese

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum ... have found following article which attempts to explain swan behaviours towards geese
swanwonders.com/.../

Thanks - I am told it is actually the female. Yesterday she persisted until the whole flock of geese was persuaded it was safer on the grass. Today though she exhibited a different behaviour and came out of the lake and had a go at a group of ducks who were feeding on bird food on the grass, but once she had driven them off seemed to lose interest and went off to have a desultory go at the geese again.
The geese seemed to be having a dispute amongst themselves , although there were far fewer than recently.

Maybe she felt the need to protect her youngsters?

I'm convinced she just does it because it's fun - the cygnets are as big as she is and I've seen them pushing ducks away - and both parents sometimes leave them unaccompanied .

Maybe she does get bored! Lol Must be very interesting to have this view of the Swan family's interraction with the Geese!
