Despite their appearance, and the gentility of musical pieces by Saint-Saens, Tchaikovsky and Sibelius, Swans are very mean-spirited birds and will as soon bite your hand off as look at you. I know...I did make a peaceful overture to a swan once by a lakeside and was rewarded with a violent, hissing gesture.

1) Thanks for getting all those pieces stuck in my head ALL AT ONCE.
2) You can walk up to them, just make sure you do it with a big stick extended in front of you. Pretty entertaining, actually.
