Hi Betty

This may be a sign of aggression, but if she did not flee and he did not try to hurt her, then it may have been a little family spat. If the family came over and ate with her, that is a good sign. Keep an eye out for any signs of being extremely rough or signs that she is trying to flee or appears injured. If this occurs, you may have to keep her separated. The Regal Swan
