The Mute Swan is a species of bird with an orange-reddish bill and white feathers. It is naturally found in Europe and Asia but can sometimes be found in the United States as a result of the importation of these non-native birds.
Mute Swans are one of the heaviest flying birds and consume up to 8 pounds of vegetation each day. How will the migration of Mute Swans into an area most likely affect the birds native to that area?
First off, because the bird is non native it may introduce new diseases. Second, because it eats so much vegetation, birds may lack materials to build nests or dens.
