Anyone want baby Mute swans that aren't pinioned?

[leanybean16]

We have 4 eggs that could hatch any day and can't afford to have them pinioned. We would love to find a home for them. If you would like them pinioned we could have it done but you would need to pay for at least part of the cost ($650-$900 a bird is what we have been quoted!!!) If they don't need to be pinioned they are all yours. We are in the Seattle, WA area.

I believe that is where you remove the outer part of the birds wing to make it impossible for them to ever fly. You would want to do this with swans because they will fly off to other ponds. Even mute swans will ditch you if they are not pinioned. This is preferable over just clipping the wings because clipping their wings would only temporarily take away their flight, you would have to catch them and clip their wings often if they are not pinioned. And to the other person, yes swans need water, they need a large pound and they feed mainly on aquatic vegetation.
