black swans

Hello,

Mimi and Buck are doing well on the pond and seem to have attracted a mere 20-30 canadian geese as friends. Not that I wanted them to be killer swans, but I was hoping that they would not allow geese to be in the same water. I would assume if they are not territorial now, it isn't going to happen. Am I right in my assumption?

Secondly, I was told that no swan will get along with the black ones. If I was to purchase a pair of mute swans in addition to my black ones should I anticipate problems? How I came about getting the black swans, is that the people who I purchased them from had a pair of mute swan, and the male would not allow the black pair on the pond.

Warm regards and thank you.
