I remember when I was a Fellow at Delta and someone had the wonderful idea to release some birds in the swan pen.. ...took 8 people to separate the few survivors. ....kinds like swimming bloody cattle through pirahas. ..


I certainly wouldn't.

If you get black swans and have a lot of space you should be fine even in the breeding season can you put the size of you pen in metres please

Yea I've been doing a lot of research and I'm gonna get the black swans but just in case I'll put a divider between the pond so the swans will have their own territory and sorry I don't know how to measure in meters

Go on google and type in meter to what every you are using at the moment.

 

[muscovy man14]

It'll be 15.24x21.3 meters

I'll dig the pond and put some pipes so the water stays fresh
