If you’ve ever been in a stare down with a swan, you know, should push come to shove – you’re gonna lose, bad.
These three Black Swans (native to Australia and introduced to NZ) were fairly wary, but I’ve seen swans attack people too silly to understand if the very-large-bird wants the whole loaf of bread, give it to him, now!
Oh, and don’t ever get too close to a pelican that has figured out that with it’s bill wide open, it’s wings wide, and charging (well, waddling quickly), it’s quite threatening looking. I did that when I was about ten, and I was scared of pelicans for quite some time afterward.
