Well, first of all some ponds are just not suitable for swans. The first major thing that matters is where you live. Black swans live in Australia. So if you live in Australia just read what is below about attracting swans. Black necked swans live in south America. So do the Coscoroba swans. Mute swans live in most areas in the world. Trumpeter swans range from Canada to parts of North America. Tundra swans mostly live in Siberia. Whooper swans live in Europe and Asia. Some swans like tall grass. Others like shallow ponds, some like deep ponds. Most of all they do not like to be disturbed by humans. So, If you would like to attract swans to your pond, the best advice i can give you is to grow some tall grass. That is the most doable way to attract swans!

We have had some success by placing a brightly colored,unfamiliar, flapping object e.g a large tethered plastic bag, in the area you wish them to avoid. The type of object needs to be changed every few days, as they quickly grow familiar with it. Also, opening an umbrella in their presence, will quickly clear the area!

It can be difficult to keep birds off or away from your dock or deck. Birds look for undisturbed perches, safe places to nest, and ample food sources. However, if you plan to keep nuisance birds off your boat or dock, you will not have to complain later about the time and expense of cleaning away unsanitary and hazardous bird droppings.

What should an effective bird control strategy include? Most birds are foragers. If there is any type of food source, they are going to hang around and feast. Clean and remove any food items or waste from fishing lines or nets. Second, any effective bird deterrent must avoid "habituation," i.e.,

when birds rapidly become accustomed to and are no longer frightened by sights or sounds that were originally frightening. Your efforts to keep bird away should emphasize unpredictability, variety, timing, and persistence.

Some people have tried pyrotechnics, such as loud bangers, whistles, flashes of bright lights, or propane cannons. While these methods are readily available, they do have disadvantages. They are loud and may result in complaints in residential areas or can even be illegal to use. They can present a fire hazard and safety hazard to bystanders. Effects are of short duration, and may require storage of a large magazine. Cartridges can be expensive. Finally, and most frustratingly, birds, especially gulls, may habituate to propane cannons in 1-3 days.

Visual and auditory bird repellers

with frightening effects that change and are unpredictable are a great choice to control nuisance birds. One repeller

that combines sight and sound effects is the WhirlyBird

Repeller.

It uses wind to spin and sunlight to reflect patterns of light. When installed in a windy area about 6-8 feet above where the birds are roosting or perching, the constantly changing effects will discourage habituation and keep nuisance birds away from your boat, dock, or deck.

There are many different

bird deterrents on the market. Be sure to consider your needs and type of bird to repel. Talk to a representative from a bird control company, such as WhirlyBird

Repeller,

to learn what will work best for you.

Perhaps there is a solution, but you must describe your entire situation related to swans.
