It's just suffering from a deficiency...mainly lead.

I'll admit...I know next to nothing about swans.
My next door neighbor hates them for reasons I don't quite understand...
A pair of them built a nest in the middle of a pond very near to my place.

A few weeks later..he shot the eggs with his .22 to keep them from hatching.

I don't understand.

Sounds like the swan stole someone's cache of LSD. Or meth (more likely).

Its illegal in Britain to kill a swan, a quite serious offence. Every last one of them is the property of the Queen. She is too old to go and round them up and her American granddaughter-in-law is far too self-entitled, wanted all the privileges of rank beyond her station, so she employs Swan Uppers to look after them.

Does the swan need a warrant or no?

Was all that the necessary to address the swan issue?

I'm sure it leaves all kinds of presents on their porch.

It's the real life version of "Untitled Goose Game" - A video game where you play as a goose who's mission is to be as annoying as possible.

The swan is annoying the English, so maybe it's an Irish Swan
