What to feed the swans - HELP
We had 2 pair of Black Australian Swans. Something has killed 1 pair (and attacked the geese we have too). We have had to cage the other two until the traps catch what is attacking the animals. They are normally on the pond and will snatch some of the chicken feed through the fences when they want more to eat. Because they are not eating off the pond (as they have for the last 2 1/2 years) what should we be feeding them until they can be safely released again?
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Sammie9  |

Hi Sammie9,
I'm afraid that I can't help with the diet advice but on behalf of Admin and the Moderators, welcome to Bird Forum  Hopefully someone will be along soon who can help with your query. See you around.

Sammie9, a few links for information :-
