Description
Kensington Metropolitan Park spring wildlife 2240 W Buno Rd, Milford Township, MI 48380
Mute swans are not native to Michigan, nor to North America. They were brought to this country from Europe in the mid-1800s to adorn city parks and large estates. Mute swans are invasive because they are non-native species that have become established and spread rapidly, causing negative impacts such as competition with native wildlife, displacement of native species and degradation of wetland habitat. Mute swans can live up to 19 years in the wild, and breeding adults raise about five cygnets each year. Mute swans begin nesting in the early spring. Nesting mute swans can be very aggressive to humans who come too close to their territory. Mute swans will attack humans, especially small children, who get too close to their nest or young. Canoeists, kayakers and those operating personal watercraft have also been attacked when too close to mute swan territories. Mute swans are aggressive and may pose a danger to humans and can in certain situations effect human use of property when humans are excluded from nesting areas by swans defending their territories. The adult mute swans have orange bills anda black knob on the top of their bill
