Mute swans are much prettier than geese, but in some parts of the U.S.,
including Michigan, they’re just as much a problem. They are not a native
species but were introduced from Europe many years ago and are considered
invasive. They multiply rapidly and have squeezed out the native Trumpeter
swan. They’re also very aggressive and have been known to attack people who
get too close to their nests.They bite and slap with their wings, which are
powerful enough to break a man’s leg.
Swans are supposedly good to eat, allegedly better than their close
relative, the goose. Some states have opened a swan hunting season. But most
those who wish to dine on swan go for the smaller Tundra Swans. Butchering a
Mute Swan is a big job.

Very nice. I find the light bit of water at the top a little
distracting - would it be better with that cropped?
Not sure of the flying rat reference. They're much more elegant than that!
