In search of mute swan

[lfrye11]

Hey y’all! Does anyone have a recommendation of where I could get a day old swan (or just a young one)? I want to train it to be kind, and from what I’ve read the best way is to just handle it while it’s young. Or if anyone is selling a kind adult please let me know! Thank you!

Those things are expensive, I'd suggest a fake one
I didn't know they were $$ until I saw them in a catalog. Mentioned it to DW, said I couldn't believe the people down the road had a pair in their pond, I'd be afraid of predators getting them. She say's 'their fake'
No they are not, I've seen them swim around, she say's 'they don't swim very good when they are froze in the ice in the winter dummy'
hmmm, she was right

Try SoftbillsforSale.com. as @Beer can said, Their not cheap. Also, realize if you get them as cignets they will imprint on you...may or may not cause problems later on, down the road with breeding issues.

There is a pair on softbills right now for 2000.00 for the pair.
In N.H.,Tony.

Well you can train them to be nice but when their hormones kick in trust me they will act like you’ve never seen before although every bird is different. We just acquired “two males” planning on getting them DNA sexed soon!
What state are you in I may be able to help?
