Swans.

[HBLC]

As it was mentioned on another thread, everyone has been told many times throughout their life that a Swan can break a man's arm. I know they can be vicious bds but I'm looking at a picture of one now and I really doubt that it can do that much damage. It just doesn't look physically capable.


Has anyone on here ever been physically abused by a swan and suffered broken bones?


As the Swan is protected by The Queen, I'm not sure on what the protocol is if being attacked by one. I highly doubt she would get personally involved but I'd hate to get taken away by a Swan Protection Officer if I did retaliate. I'm also not sure if I'm allowed to pre-emptively strike a swan if it starts getting cocky and looking at my arm.

Visiting the local boating lake isn't as relaxing as it used to be.

No. Your arm is thicker and stronger than a swan's. If it hit you hard enough to break your arm, it'd break its own wing, that'd be a death sentence for a wild bird so it's not a viable tactic.

This has put my mind at rest. I'm going to walk with a bit of a swagger around the boating lake tomorrow knowing that if a swan were to go for my arm, it would f**k itself up in the process.
