# 1.  NETs  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I Do NOT Know How Anyone can Work with Swans WITHOUT having Nets !

******  Nets are Helpful as a Barrier as well as when you Want to Catch a Swan.

******  Having a VERY Large Net is Basic.. Choose the Nylon Netting.

******  Stores that Carry Sporting Goods will have an Assortment of Fishing Nets.

******  Frabill Nets are Well Make..  We have Several..

With Each Passing Year, just like Cars, the Fishing Nets Change..
The Nets I have on this Topic Page are Over 10 Years Old..
Some Close to 20 Years Old.  These Models are Not Available anymore.

******  Many of the Larger Nets have Collapsible Handles to Fit in you Vehicles.

I LOVED the FraBill Net Below..  The Tear Drop Shape was Perfect.
I Purchased Dozens of these Over the Time we were Actively Working with Swans.
I would Give many of the Folks Adopting Swans for the First Time a Net.

IN 2022, This Net ( Great Value ) has been Discontinued..  BOO !
BUT, this is a GOOD Example of what Type of Net Works Well.
The Major Sporting Goods Stores have ALL Types and Brands.
Watch for Sales..

AND When you Store your Nets.. Handle DOWN-Net UP.
 > > > > Or Hang them UP Off the Floor..
If there are any Mice-Rodents in your Storage Area
> > > > they may CHEW the Netting.

******  When you Net a Swan… GET the Hoop Down as Far as Possible.
IF Possible Put your Foot on the Handle/Hoop.. Keep it DOWN on the Ground.
Swans are Great at Backing Out Under a Net.. Get Hold of their Neck ASAP.
And they GET Toe Claws, Beak and Feathers Caught in the Large Net Gauge.
Take your Time Untangling..

******  As Soon As Possible Get HOLD of their Neck.. Then you will have Control.
Try to Hold from Behind their Neck.. This will Allow them to Breathe Freely.
If you Hold the Swan from Behind.. You can Position your Legs to Help Control.
One Hand on their Chest..  Be Still for a Little to let the Swans Calm Down.
Most Mute Swans Calm Down Surprisingly Quick.  Basically Submit.
Trumpeters – NO.. Expect a Struggle.

******  For Cygnet 2-3 Months Old.. Medium Size Nets are Great.

******  For Adult Swans you will Want the Hoop to be 20 X 24
 > > > > or Larger if Possible.
There are MANY Different Sizes and Styles.. Collapsible and Fixed Handles.

******  We Interacted with Swans in Many Different Places and Circumstances.

******  There are Times when Having Longer Arms is a BIG Help.. Lighter Nets Work.
Hold your Nets Out to Help Guide a Swan to their Pond or a Location to Corral them.

******  We Traveled with Our Nets.  I Sleeved them with Large Plastic Bags.
This Kept them from Getting Catch on Things in our Van.
And I could Put Any Wet Nets Back in the Bags until I Got Home.
We Washed All Nets between Ponds..  Allowed them to Dry Well.
> > I DID NOT Want to Carry Any Problems from One Pond to Another.

******  POOL Leaf Skimmers have VERY LONG HANDLEs
> > > > and Small Pocket-like Nets.
THESE are GREAT for Scooping UP Tiny Cygnets that are Out on the Water.

******  Several Years we Found these Pool Skimmers at Ollie’s.

******  The Long Handle Net Below is a Simple Pool Skimmer..

******  This Net was Helpful for Placing Piles of Feed and Vegetables
> > > > OUT to Icy Areas.
Areas Too Risky to Step Closer to the Waters Icy Edge..

******
# 2.  TRANSPORT CARRIERs &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

******  There are LOTs of Sizes and Styles.
We Purchased our First Travel-Aire Carrier in 2007.. It has Held-up Well.

******  I Lucked-Out and Found Several other Pet Carriers at Second Hand Stores.

****** We are Able to Put TWO Large Carriers in our Van..
> > > > with the Back Seats Removed.

******
> > > Always Check that the Gate Latch is Well Seated..
> > > NO Loose Swans Please !


******  These Carriers Come Apart to Make Washing Easy.
Many of the Newer Carriers have Coated Wire Gates.. LESS-RUST.

******  I have Washed our Carrier Too Many Times to Count.
Cygnets and Swans are MESSY Birds..  ( Lots of Good Memories. )

******  So Far this Size Carrier has been Good for Mute Swans Up to Mature Cobs.
This Carrier would be a Good Size for an Adult Golden Retriever Dog.

******  The Crate Gate is Nice to be Able to Check on the Feathered Passenger.
The Female below is a Two Year Old Mute Swan.. an Adult Swan.  Lots of Room.

******  By a Pond or Lake.. the Swan can See, Smell and Look Around.

******  We have Kept Several of the Swans in these Carriers OverNight..

******  The New Swan can Meet the Resident Swan while in the Carrier..
Watch for Aggression, Stalking, Biting.  Have another Plan Just in Case.
Not All Introductions are Immediate Acceptance.  Be Ready to Keep a New Swan Safe.
They may need to be Placed in a Secure Shelter for Several Days & Nights.

******  You can get a Pretty Good Idea if the New Swan will be Accepted..

******  Then there are Times when it is Helpful to Put the Cob in a Safe Place..
> > > > An Aggressive – Protective Cob is Easy to Catch.
Have a Net Ready.. They Come to You. Always Put him in the Shade.

******  There have been a Number of Times I Put a Swan in the Carrier
when there was Nasty Weather or High Winds..  Just to Keep them Safe.
Putting the Carrier in a Protected Place.

******  The Swans are Always Happy to be Released Back to the Water.

******  The Carriers are Two Shell Like Sections..
> > > > They Work as Shelters for Tiny Ones.

******  Put Together We used them as Shelters
> > > > Until the Cygnets did NOT Want to be Inside.

******  These Young Cygnets were So Cute.. They would Snuggle in the Carrier.

******  More then Once we Had to Keep a Cygnet/Swan Quiet after Surgery.

******  “Meadow” had a Toe Removed in February.. It was Too Cold Outside at Night.

******  We would Take “Meadow” Outside during the Day as Much as Possible.

******  He Stayed in the Carrier at Night for EIGHT Weeks.

******  The Carriers Come Apart for Easy Washing.

******  We Sat One Half Flipped Over and the Other Half Flipped Up on Top..
To Use as a Work Station for Giving Medications and Changing Dressings.

These Travel-Aire Carriers were/are Very Handy.

******  Many Folks have the Typical Wire Dog Carriers.
Use Ones Large Enough for a Golden Retriever.

******  Extra Care is Suggested when Cygnets/Swans have Blood Feathers.
Line with CardBoard to Help Prevent Broken Blood Feathers.

# 3  TRANSPORT BOXES  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

There are Many Times that Swans are Relayed from One Person to Another.
Using a Large CardBoard Box is a Good Alternative to the Carriers.
Prepare the Box for the Comfort of the Swans..
Once the Swans are at their New Home.. Toss the Messy Box Away..

Transporting Swans
https://swanlovers.net/category/transporting-swans/

LARGE MUTE COBs and Trumpeter Swans May NEED EXTRA Large Boxes.

******  These Boxes Work Well for most Female Mute Swans
> > > > and Cygnets 4-10 Months Old.
Some Older Male Cygnets can be BIG.. Needing LARGER Boxes..
ONLY ONE Large Swan PER BOX.


******  Transport Boxes are Nice to Use and then Discard.. Swans are Messy Birds.

******  To Keep a Water/Food Container Secure..
A Gallon Milk Jug Tied into the Corner WORKs !

******  A Large Polyvinyl Tub Works.. Again Tied into the Corner.

******  Swans are ALL Neck and Feet..
They will Knock Over an UnSecured Water Container.

******
# 4  TRANSPORT BAGS.. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

******  These are Good for Emergency Transport.


******  The Images Above are from the United Kingdom..
They have these Swan Bags.  We need to Improvise..
A Large Duffel Bag.. Sturdy Laundry Bag.. Extra Large Gym Bag.
******

Catching a Swan and Using a Transport Bag..  This is a Helpful Video..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS17K40IVU8

******  OR Use the Idea and MAKE Your Own Transport Sacks..

******  I have Frequently Seen these Swan Wraps in YouTube Video
> > > > of U.K. Swan Rescues.

******
# 5. BODY SLEEVES &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I have a Tip to Share with You..
When we take our Swans to the Vets..
I put them into a Body Sleeve to Keep their Wings in Check..
Our Vets ALWAYs Smiles when they See our Swans in them..
Makes taking XRays Easy.. and Basic Exam Time Calm.

******  These Cloth Material Tubes are a BIG HELP to Control POWERFUL WINGs.
These Body Sleeves make our Veterinarian Visits Calmer-Safer for EveryOne !

We Slip these ON.. before Going into the Veterinary Office..
Take them OFF for the Ride Home..
Makes it Easier for Every One.. No One gets Whacked !
I Run these Up on my Sewing Machine..

******  It is Important to Watch for Signs of OverHeating..
> > > > Open Mouth Panting.

******  I USE Stretchy Knit Materials..
So it Stretches Side to Side – To Allow the Swans to BREATHE.

******  I Made Various Sizes..  They were a BIG Help…
I Do Miss Working with the Swans. ( 2022 )

******  Yep, We are Off to the Vets to have a Little Foot Checked
> > > > before Adoption to New Home.

******  The Body Sleeves made it Easier to Change Wound Dressings.
> > > > Especially when Treating their BIG Feet.

I have Found !!!  a TEE Shirt will Work.. Stitch Sleeves Shut.
Play with Different Sizes until you find a Good Fit.
You want it to Cover, Contain the Wings.. NOT TOO Tight.
WASH when Soiled and Keep for Next Time.

******  Large Bath-Beach Towels are a Big Help Controlling Wings
> > > > when Carrying a Swan.

******

# 6.  SWAN REPLACEMENT EGGs  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
 The Topic Page Below has Lots of Information about Replacement Eggs.

SWAN REPLACEMENT EGGs
https://swanlovers.net/category/swan-replacement-eggs/

******  This can be a Nice Winter Craft Project.
> > > > Be Prepared for Spring Nesting.

******

# 7. SWAN BARRIERs & REPELLING Tools  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Fewer Bruises Working with Your Hormonal Cobs.

There are Several Months During Mating and Nesting Season.. THESE HELP.

******  My First Attempt was an Eye Opener..  It Failed and I Learned.
The Handle was Screwed into the Padded Window Washer.. It Worked – Sorta..
It Kept the Cob from Whacking me.. He Flogged the “White” Feed Bag Cover.
The Padded End Came OFF !  And the “White” Bag Cover became his Victim.
> > > > I was Safe.. It was a Learning Experience !

******  Angry Swans Try to Stomp the Air out of the Lungs
> > > > of a Weaker Swan.

******  It was Time to ReDesign my Idea..  Second Generation..
> > > > Much Better.


******  A Cheap Garden Rake – With Secure Handle. < < <

******  I Trimmed this Rake.. To Fit Inside a Standard Pillow Case.


******  Layers of Bubble Wrap – Secured with Duck Tape.  I Added an Inside Cover.

*******  This Time I Used a Bright Busy Patterned Pillow Case for the OutSide Cover.
This was Distracting to the Cobs.  Waving these Slowly in Front of you is Distracting.

******  Mature Hormonal Swan Cobs are Strong and Focused on Protecting..
Their Wings have a Powerful WHACK.. These Padded Rakes HELP !
Never HIT your Swans.  Their Bones are more Fragile then Mammals.
Use these Padded Tools to Keep the Cobs Away.. or for them to Attack..
Let the Swan WHACK the Padded Repelling Tool.. HOLD on Tight. 

******  This is the Third Generation.. A Larger Padded Repeller.


******  Wrapping Handles with Some Rubber Shelf Liner IMPROVES the GRIP..

****** ADD EARTHTONE  Washable Material Covers..  Ready to Use.

******  Just Tie the Corners.. Easy to Remove to Launder when Needed.

******  We Kept these with us During the Hormonal Mating-Nesting Season.

******  We Learned HOW to Work Around our Hormonal Cobs..


******  “Never Turn Your Back on a Hormonal Swan Cob. ”


******  It is Also Helpful to have SOMETHING to Use as a Barrier..
> > > > MY Supply Cart Worked.

******  These Larger Trash Cans would be Great for a Cob to WHACK !
Plus > > You could Carry-Roll your Feed and Supplies to the Pond..

******  WE Used a Folding Lawn Chair as a Barrier when Checking the Nest & Eggs.
I Realize I have No Images while Checking the Nest.. I was Busy Checking.

******  Using an Umbrella as a Shield.. Worked with the Turkey..
BUT NOT for a Hormonal Cob.  They will “Whack” an Umbrella into Submission..

******
# 8.  HELPFUL THINGs for WINTER  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

******  Knowing the Temperature by the Water..
> > > > We know when to Turn the DeIcers ON!

******  Walking on Ice Crusty Snow and Icy Areas around the Water..is Risky.
Ice Cleats that Attach to Boots and Shoes are Available at Sporting Goods Stores.
THESE Work.. Tiny Spike Grip into the Ice.
DO NOT Walk on Solid Smooth Surfaces with these.. then they are Slippery.

******  A Sturdy Walking Stick is Always Helpful for Balance on Uneven Surfaces.

****** TREKKING POLES are GREAT YEAR Round !

******  Heated Water Dishes are Helpful when Caring for a Sheltered Swan.

******  I Found this Bucket DeIcer.. It Kept our Kidde Pools from Freezing.

******  These Heated Kitty Pads – Put INSIDE a THICK TRASH BAG..
> > > > are Safer then Using Heat Lamps..  These Heat to 100-101 Degrees..
Put a Little Straw on Top for the Swans to Sit on.
They Normally Regulated their Temperature through their Webbed Feet.
******

******

******  A Garden Cultivator is a Sturdy Walking Stick..
> > > > and Helps to Grab Things/Trash in the Water.

******
# 9.  KIDDE POOLs for Rescued Cygnets and Swans  &&&&&&&&&&&&

******  SWANs WANT to be IN WATER !   It Encourages Preening.

******  I Made Step-Up Bags with Material Feed Bags Half Filled with Straw.

******  The Water in Kidde Pools in Hot Summer Sun will Get Hot.. Create Shade.

******  I Used a Siphon Hose to Drain the Pools..
Sink the Length of Hose IN the Pool until it is Full of Water.
Put your Thumb on One End.. and then Stretch that End to a Lower Place.

******  We Modified Several Kidde Pools for Injured Swans..

******  The Tiny Cygnets could NOT get In and Out of the Regular Kidde Pool.

******  Placing the Pool on a Down Hill Slope.. They have Water and Access.

******  This Dear Cygnet had Severe Deformities..  We Gave it a Chance.

******  The Instinct to Splash and be Wet was there..
> > > > the Cygnet Enjoyed this Play Time.
We could NOT Leave this Cygnet Alone..
She would Get UPSide Down.. and become Helpless.

******  Swans LIKE their Water Dirty.. ( I Like the Water Clean. )
And the Swans would DIG HOLEs and Put the Ground in the Pools.
Finally a Heavy Tarp Helped.. Our Lawn was a Mess..  ( Which was OK.. )

******  We Borrowed this STEP-2 Splash Pool… It was Great for the Larger Swans.

******  The Swans could Stretch and Splash.. It was Fun to Watch their Happy Bathes.

******

******  A Vinyl Dish Pan Works as a Floating Vegetable Feeder.

******

******  These Sister Swans.. “Brooke” and “Spring” became our Adopted Swans.

******  The Girls Learned to Get Out and Drop Down on the Step-Up Bags.

******  We had this Vinyl Kids Toboggan and Put it to Uses.
> > > > Just Deep Enough for the Tiny Cygnets.

******

******

******  I Found this Ducks Foot Bath Tub…  Too Cute.

******  We had Several Vinyl Snow Saucers.
> > > > Any Puddle of Water Works for Tiny Cygnets.

******  In a Kitty Litter Pan they can GET Wet to Encourage Preening.

******  These Storage Tubs Work..
> > > > Deep Enough to Keep the Cygnets from Climbing Out.

******  These Deep Storage Tubs are Useful when Moving a Brood of Tiny Cygnets.

******  I Know a Lady that had One Precious Cygnet Hatch..
She Gathered the Cygnet to Pinion it.  Put the Cygnet in a CardBoard Box.
After the Cygnet was Pinioned.. her Plan was to Put the Cygnet in a Shed
to Rest for a few Hours.  Sat the Box Down.. Turned to Open the Shed Door.
In that Brief Moment the Cygnet JUMPED Out of the Box.
> > > > It Crawled under the Shed.
The Distressed Woman was Never Able to Find the Cygnet.  GONE..
When we are Working with Tiny Cygnets OutSide,
> > > > we Put them in the Cat Size Carriers.

******  And then there is the Under Bed Sweater Storage Container.
> > > > This Got a Lot of Use.

******  This Storage Bin was Surprisingly Water Tight..

******  I did not Want our Cygnet to be Bumping or Scrapping his Damaged Foot
when Getting IN and OUT of the Regular Kidde Pool..
> > > > This Low Container was Perfect.

******  Often “Meadow” would Sit and Soak with his Bandaged Foot over the Side.

******  The Sprinklers Added a Little Fun..

******  We Enjoyed the Sprinklers as much as the Swans.

******  This was Fun Play on HOT Summer Days.

******  When you NEED to Get Swans OFF the Water..
> > > > Two to Three Kayaks Work the Best.
Row Boats, Canoes and Paddle Boats are TOO Clumsy.
> > > > Motored Boats ADD Injury Risks.

******  Slowly Work the Swans to the Shore where there are People Waiting with Nets.

******  It Can Take a Team to Safely Round-up Swans.

******  These Shock Alarms are a Safety Addition to any Water Environments
where there are Electric Cables in the Water..
> > > > Warning of Leaking Current in the Water.

******
#10.  FENCING – Temporary  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

******  Our BackYard Enclosure was a Work in Progress.
We Needed a Temporary Safe Place to Care for our Rescued Cygnets/Swans.

******  “Meadow” was the First to Live with us for Months..
> > > > Many more Swans Followed.

50 Foot Rolls of this Wooden Snow Fencing are Available
> > > > at many Tractor Supply Stores.
This is 4 Foot High.. Held up Well to the Weather for 4 Years.
> > > > Then Showed Signs of Wear.

We Paid an Average of $40.00 for Each Roll.. Garden Stakes 4 to 5 Feet Apart..
One Warning.. Wear Old Clothing while Putting this Fencing Up..
> > > > When New, the Rust Colored Stain COMEs OFF !

******  Another Fencing we Used.. Rolls of Green Vinyl Garden Mesh Fencing.
This was Easy to Set-Up for Temporary Projects.  Like Bait and Catch Times.
Several Sizes are Available from 3 to 4 Foot High.. Rolls come in 25 Foot Lengths.

******  This North State Fencing System is Great if you want to Avoid Stakes..
It Comes in 6 Panel Packages.. Can be Adapted and Moved Easily..
Stands Alone on most Level Surfaces.  A Little Support is Needed on Slopes.
The Sturdy Panels can be Folded and Stored when not Needed.
With Several Years of Outside Exposure to the Sun.. these DO become Brittle.

******  The North State Fence Panels are for Land and Water..  Wash and Store.

******  These Dog Play Pens will Work when you Need to Bait-Catch your Swans.
Or you Need a Temporary Barrier to Introduce a New Swan..
Or a Place for Cygnets that are about be Adopted..  Lots of Uses..

******  This is a Dog Kennel Yard Pen.. There are a Growing Selection of these OnLine.
This Needed to be Lined with a Smaller Gauge Material to Keep Small Cygnets Inside.
Free Standing.. it can be Moved to Different Areas of the Lawn as Needed.

******  Do a Search for “Dog Play Pens for Large Dogs.”
> > > > There are Many Types Available.

SWAN – MISCELLANEOUS  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

******  THE First Miscellaneous Item.. A Swan First Aid Kit.

******  I Keep Supplies in a Plastic Sewing Storage Box..
Various Things that Might be Needed in a Hurry.
> > > > Rubber Gloves, Assorted Bags, Scissors, Pliers, CLEAN Napkins,
> > > > Tape, Corn Starch, Antibiotic Cream..Etc.
And an Extra Pair of Glasses..  Tape Measure, Paper, Pens…Etc.

******  Various Sizes – Multi-Color Cable Ties are the Easiest Way
> > > > to ID Band the Swans.

******  When the Cygnets are Growing it is Good to know if they are Gaining Weight.
I Found it was Easier to Put the Wiggly Cygnets in a Plastic Bag for a Quick Weigh-in.

******  This Idea Works..  The Large Dog Harnesses Allowed for a Leash.

******  We were Able to take “Meadow” to other Ponds for a Visit
> > > > and Bring him Home.

******  We used the Harness with Several Swans for Controlling their Movement.

******  We do not have a Fence Around our Yard..
> > > > With the Harness I could Use a Long Lead.
> > > > I NEVER Left Any Swan Alone..
I did NOT Want to Risk them Tangling if I was Not There.

******  The PET STEPs are Generally for Dogs Accessing a Vehicle.
But they are Workable for Pond Ramps for Swans and Cygnets Walk In and Out.
This will Reduce Erosion from the Swans Toe Claws Gripping into the Banks.

******  Assorted Size Bungees are VERY Handy..
> > > > REMOVE the Tiny Rubber Tips.. Discard..

******  A Few Lengths of Small Diameter Rope may be Useful..
******  Brushes to Clean Buckets, Bowl, Feed Containers, Muddy Shoes and Boots.

******  Medium Size Cable Ties are VERY Useful..  Carabiners Clips Also Helpful.

******  There are a Growing Number of WebSites with Swan Crossing Signs.

******  These Swan Nesting Warning Signs were Privately Created..

******  Were Ever you Visit Swans..  Along a River, Creek, Stream, Lake or Pond..

******  Take Healthy Treats for them..
> > > > I Use Empty Coffee Jars for Corn, Oats, Cereal, etc.

******  The Blue Buckets from Dollar Tree are Perfect to Carry Supplies.
Plastic Bags to Gather Trash, a Hand Towel, Pack of Tissues, Pliers, etc.
One of these Buckets is a Clean Place to Put my Camera and Extra Batteries..
There is a LOTs of Poop on the Ground where we Visit Swans – Waterfowl.

******  Most of the Places we Visited Swans had Other Pets..
> > > > Take Treats for them TOO!

******  AND of Course.. Carry a Camera or Cell Phone with Camera.

******  I am So Glad we Took ALL the Photos that we Did.. Great Memories.

****** Having Binoculars Allows you to Watch Nesting Swans at a Distance..

******  Observe the Nest from a Distance..  Generally Checking them.

We Collected our Swan Care Items Over Time.. from Many Sources.

Some from WalMart  > > > >  Kidde Pools.
Sales at Sporting Goods Stores > > >  Assorted Nets.

Ollie’s… Never Know what you might Find there..
Ollie’s is where I found the Poly Vinyl Snow Saucers and Toboggan.

Garden/Nurseries Stores.. have Smaller Pond Nets..
> > > > Good for Small Cygnets.

Some Items from Second Hand Stores..
> > > > I Found Several of our Carriers there.

OH, and Dollar Tree..
