Do swans go along with other waterfowl?

On the grounds of the retirement village in Florida where my mom lived, there was a small long lake with mute swans and black neck swans, Chinese geese, Egyptian geese, many kinds of ducks both wild and domestic, teal, and other exotics that I don’t know what they were, but many came on their own. They seemed to get along. There was a lot of space for them. There were no shelters, no one was confined.
It would probably depend on many factors whether or not your birds would get along with swans, but it is certainly do-able.

They will get along but when they are nesting, they become highly territorial the male will chase all others from the nesting area. I noticed they are so friendly to me but the other day some folks came over to get some chickens and they were fluffed up at them. Years ago they had a nest and my sister dropped by to take photos of them. My pen didn't go for that she came to the fence looking like a giant snowball with a beak sticking out. But she didn't attack. :lol:
