Death by Swan

I had always heard that swans could be vicious, but not to the point of murdering a human. And yet from the 1938 report to the present day, it happens.

1938 article source: The Tennessean (Nashville, Tennessee) 15 May 1938, Sun Page 41

Swans are basically giant geese in drag. Geese will defend their territory to the death, preferably yours.

And then again, they're only birds, and only half your size. Break your arm!? Break their wing, more likely! If you're four, or if you panic, a swan might manage to kill you. But realistically, in a normal situation? No. Really not.
