So what does a swan do when it’s angry? It hisses. Loudly. And it puffs up its feathers to look twice its size. This is pure theater. It’s the avian equivalent of a Chihuahua wearing a puffer jacket.
They will chase you. They will flap their wings. They might nip you with that strong beak. Think of it as a very aggressive pinch. It can hurt. It can bruise. It will not require a cast.
Quirky fact: A swan’s beak has serrated edges, like a steak knife. That’s for grabbing eels and plants, not for severing limbs. Still, don’t let it grab your finger. It’s a pinch you won’t forget, but you will type with that finger tomorrow.
