As We Visit and Work with Swans,
We have Observed how Visual they are.
They are Creatures of Habit.
We take their Vegetable and Treats to their Ponds
in White Grocery Bags.
When the Swans see the WHITE BAGS from a Distance
they head toward Us for their Treats and to Visit with Us.
THE WHITE BAG EFFECT
The Swans will Follow the White Bags.

We get Discard Vegetables from a Local Restaurant Kitchen.
I Sort the Greens into the White Plastic Grocery Store Bags.
WE NEVER TAKE TWIST TIES or PLASTIC CLOSURES
for BREAD BAGS to the Pond Area.
NO Rubber Bands or Styrofoam..
NO BOTTLE CAPS or SODA TABS.
Anything Foreign that a Swans swallows will stay in their Gizzard.. Indigestible.. Obstructive.
BE VERY CAREFUL to Collect any Metal if you are doing any Construction Projects. WaterFowl will Pick-up and Swallow Screws, Nails, Nuts, Bolts, etc.
SWANs Die from thing stuck in their Throat or Gizzard….
The Swans see the White Bags and Come for their Treats.
When the Swans see our Van, they know we have Greens.
One Young Swan was sitting on the other side of this Large Pond.
She did not come over when we stopped to visit.
I took a White Bag of Greens out of our Van. As soon as she saw
the White Bag, she headed over to join her Companion Swan.
The Ducks, Geese and Swans will Follow whoever has
the White Bag.
DO NOT Take White Bags to Visit Swans
during their Mating and Nesting Time.
The White Bags will cause the Male Swan to CHASE You.
Their Hormonal Aggressive Behavior is Triggered by WHITE.
