Hey guys, just curious,
Are the Trumpeter Swans are the Toronto Zoo countable? They seem awfully accustomed to people..

Seems unlikely. Are they free flying?

Apparently they're mostly related to the birds descended of a captive breeding project in the zoo...they're not there all the time, and they're not pinioned or penned up, but they certainly are accustomed to people.

I think I might count them then though I imagine a lot of people wouldn't. Not much of an answer I know.

Much of the local population of Trumpeter Swans, even those nesting in inaccessible marshes, winter in cities and are very tame. They're wild birds, part of a large and increasing population, so I would count them.
