Ask the Swan Specialist

In Response To: Cygnets abandoned (Lisa)

Hi there

I think the mum n dad have been ousted from their territory by another pair now but the cygnets have stayed in a group together. They are only just over 4 months old now and still come to see us daily. Although they seem to manage fine I am concerned that they haven't learnt enough from mum n dad and keep being chased by the other two. Would mum and dad just leave them? Is there anything I can do to help? Sending an updated photo.

Thanks so much for all you do. I read what is happening with swans in the US and realise just how lucky we are here in the UK. It's absolutely atrocious so I am going to boycott our parliament.

Thanks again Lisa
