Subject: Re: PESO Flying Rat, European Version
Mute swans are much prettier than geese, but in some parts of the U.S.,
including Michigan, they’re just as much a problem. They are not a
native species but were introduced from Europe many years ago and are
considered invasive. They multiply rapidly and have squeezed out the
native Trumpeter swan. They’re also very aggressive and have been known
to attack people who get too close to their nests.They bite and slap
with their wings, which are powerful enough to break a man’s leg.
Swans are supposedly good to eat, allegedly better than their close
relative, the goose. Some states have opened a swan hunting season. But
most those who wish to dine on swan go for the smaller Tundra Swans.
Butchering a Mute Swan is a big job.

Very nice. I find the light bit of water at the top a little
distracting - would it be better with that cropped?
Not sure of the flying rat reference. They're much more elegant than
that!
