Yeah..i'm trying to find another one ..a female so when they grow up he won't chase his friend away , I do have ducks as well, runners, a pekin, a cuyoga, and a couple buffs. They run up to me in the yard and i feed them, but if He sees them coming he heads for the hills like he's scared to death of them! They're curious and seem to want to see what he's about but he has no interest right now. Maybe i'll have to get a couple babies again if i can't find another swan..it's hard to find someone that is selling just one but someone told me it's easier when fall comes because people won't ship them in the summer heat. I can get a kiddie pool...but if it's to teach him to swim, it seems like it'll have to be a couple feet deep. I have a smaller one, but he basically just stands in it...when we saved him from the lake, and i picked him up, he was so exhausted. I wish i would have gotten a picture but he just draped his neck over my shoulder and laid his head on me..poor baby. I was thinking since ducks grow so quickly that maybe if i got a couple babies and they grew up together they could teach him how to manage in and out of the water, and the ducks seem to have a natural knack for knowing about predators. I let them on the lake after a couple months and they do very well..if the bald eagle flies over they go under the dock .
