I've hand-fed them quite a few times! And the ones that are very habituated to people will allow you to pat them / scritch their neck feathers. Of course, you're not supposed to feed wild birds, and this was before I really knew that, but there are a lot of places around Perth where wild swans are relatively tame, and expect offerings of bread. Heh.

And I'm a swan therian.

I think I knew that, I definitely think it's awesome. *g* Swans are among my favourite birds. :D
