How to Keep Trumpeter Swans Away

By eHow Sports & Fitness Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Avoid the aggressive swans' nesting territory and their young cygnets. Most swans are friendly and can live alongside other fowl and people. Others are territorial and need to be left alone. Avoid these swans' nesting areas or they could attack. Researchers have noticed aggressive swans chasing things up to 300 feet away, so remain at least 300 feet away from their territory.
Step 2:
Stay clear of the mute swan. The species name is the Cygnus olor and they are mistakenly known as the mute swan. Don't be fooled by the name because they are noisy. Look for straight necks as opposed to the friendlier version's "S" shaped neck. Look for the aggressive swan in Rhode Island and surrounding states.
Step 3:
Replace the aggressive swans with a friendlier version. Most aggressive swans are part of the mute swan species or they are uniquely aggressive birds. If you live away from the Rhode Island area, the aggressive bird was brought to you and not vice versa. Allow the trumpeter swan to die off in your area and then reintroduce the friendlier swans.
Step 4:
Practice egg shaking. This is a last resort and often used only by trained professionals. The aggressive Mutes of Rhode Island not only are mean, but they eat a tremendous amount of vegetation. The population is now growing quickly and has forced Rhode Island officials to proactice egg shaking to reduce the number of aggressive swans. Take precautions and have a professional called in from the Gaming department of your state.
