The 2 swans are relaxed and will come close, they hiss if a dog appears though

Oh they certainly do, I've had them do it at me before Can be quite intimidating when they come out of water and do it as they are pretty large! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA9pmR…

They are pretty big!! About 4 feet or something. These ones were friendly though, wish I'd seen the youngsters when they were tiny!

I've noticed that bird's use a lot of bravado, making noises and trying to look bigger etc They really don't want any physical confrontation though. When I watch people feed ducks though it can be pretty frenzied with all the gulls trying to muscle in.

They dont want any physical confrontation, they want food
It does get pretty crazy when you feed birds. I feed pigeons and
sometimes the seagulls come and it really gets crazy.Β
