they stay where they are laid :) and very territorial, will run off intruders from their nesting areas. They are indigeonous to new england. probably canada? maine for sure... they have to have water. Some ducks and geese just have to have enough water to stick their head in and clear their nose holes and keep cool in. A lawn sprinkler would be ok. I have a walmart wading pool. But some have to be floating in water and get up some speed to mate. Swans have to have a really deep large waterbody to be happy and reproduce. and they can tolerate extreme cold. a nice sized pond at least 3-4 feet deep would be ok. But a walmart wading pool wouldnt be good enough for a swan at all... and you have to have two, male and female, or they will mourn and pine and wander off looking for a mate...
