Ask the Swan Specialist

In Response To: Old remaining feathers on young swan (Tony)

Hi

A young swan, probably a signet last year, is now in full adult plumage, however it still has the remains of what appear to old wings, just the quills, if that is the correct term, sticking out horizontally on both sides of its body.

My question is will they eventually drop out. It does seem to try to pull them out from time to time success

Many thanks in anticipation

Tony
