How to subdue a Swan?
    #23476053 - 07/25/16 04:52 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Is there a humane way to do so? A friend is having some real issues with a group of them and the aggressive little buggers just won't leave him alone.

Could one feed them a mild sedative or something to stop their constant harassment?

WWJD?

Point a shotgun into the sky above their heads and fire

If that doesn't scare them away nothing will

Leave the swan alone OP.

1. They are beautiful
2. You property value goes up just for having one on it cause it's a fucking swan.

But like every animal, if you corner it and don't respond to it's warning signs, it'll get agrgessive.

start him off with some xan bars

and then finish him off with an edible and a dog water bowl of Jack

He'll probably be chillin' really hard after that

Dangle a piece of bread in front of it every day until it gets comfortable enough to eat in your hand and then CRACK!!!! Snap that long neck like you would twist a wet dishcloth.

I'm passing on the warning my father gave me: a swan can allegedly flap its wing so hard that it breaks your arm.

Quora says: yes they can but very unlikely

I've seen one bite a guy on the neck while swimming by their nest and draw a fair bit of blood. They are likely nesting there if they are aggressive. Best to leave them be. They are somewhat endangered too so harassing/killing them is likely very illegal.

You people make me laugh. You're worried about some isolated incident involving a white swan when studies show that 90% of all black swans are victims of black swan on black swan crime.

I'm guessing your friend doesn't want to go after them with a shovel.

What he could do is build up a fire near the reeds by the pond/lake they're loitering at.

BTW, that rule about not killing swans only pertains to swans on the thames. So, if it's not on that river, fair fucking game.

Stand up to them or they will attack at will. They will defer to a bigger swan so either big hat or wrap a sheet over you flare it when confronted. Once you establish dominance you will be fine.....kids can have trouble.

Well he's not harrassing him.

The problem he has is more like this:

  ***In order to protect the swan's identity it has been changed to another species***



That's why he wants to subdue it.

My pal is a keen fisherman. He's moved recently and is having major troubles with them at his new local lake. We were chatting about it at his housewarming this weekend, and I thought 'I bet someone on the Shroomery would know what to do..'

Appreciate all the responses. So far Nif's suggestion of xanax followed by some edibles and a drink sounds good, but I'm not sure how humane it is. Maybe they'd like it? I've certainly known a dog that used to seem to enjoy getting stoned before.

They aren't even on his property, but at a lake he goes to? The only viable humane option is letting them be and find a new lake, or figure out how to not aggravate them and don't go near their nest. Swans often live in the same place for years, they probably aren't going anywhere.
