    "Feeding times" for Swans

    What is a good diet for mute swans?

    Yes of course, the "total consumption" of food is around 4kg per day, and that of course includes all the "soup" in the water bowls etc :)... They arent the cleanest eaters. Our girls are quite active and have a lot of space to walk around (and swim), that of course makes them eat a bit more...
