Are they messy like ducks?

They can be if not on a pond . If on a pond they do everything in the water . Our pond is fenced with no climb horse fence .

She's beautiful, I'd keep her!

How many swans do you have Mark? I see at least one more in the background.

Mark, I vote to keep her as well.

Me too! Keep her. Or at least raise some replacements first.

There was a pair of mute swans at my Mom's retirement village. The female died, leaving the male all alone. That was sad seeing him swimming around alone. Eventually they sent him back to the breeder....and they put up a new building where the swan pond was.

Aweee that's a bummer they couldn't just bring back another swan. Do they pick one partner/lifetime ?

Yes but they will often take on a new mate if one dies . My pair are both over 20 years old .
