That would be a great age. You need to use what is called a Blitz or Cafe Dog Feeder. If you look on this site, many posts prior, there is a post regarding the specifics for placing the feeder. Or, we just released a book, Swans of the World Habitats: Setting the Standard for Swan Conservation, which can be procured for a donation of $51.00, includes shipping and handling (www.theregalswan.com).

This new book is for swan habitat and swan owners who want to know how to design, develop and implement a swan habitat to keep the swans safe, provide humane treatment, daily and veterinary care. Hope this helps. The Regal Swan
