Title: Sid the swan so vicious he had to be evicted (london) Post by: Donna on 21-Aug-10, 07:14:03 AM LONDON: An aggressive swan known as ''hissing Sid'' has been evicted from its riverbank home and moved about 65 kilometres away after a series of attacks, including one that almost caused a teenage girl to drown.
The mute swan used its powerful wings to attack rowers and canoeists on the River Chelmer, in Chelmsford, Essex, its home for two decades. Mute swans, especially the males, known as cobs, often can be aggressive in protecting their nests and their young. |
