Is it because of some sentiment associated with Europe, i.e. property of the Monarch? Or because of classical ballet dances/kids fairy tales?

I'm being very lazy by not Googling this, but I'm fairly certain they're protected by the queen... for some reason.

Also did you know the swan is the only bird with a knob? well... that is... other than those ones that stand on K road in the morning :XD:

Actually, after further Googling "yes" and "no".......I thought so also, but the fact is:

"......Today, the Crown retains the right to ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, but The Queen only exercises her ownership on certain stretches of the Thames and its surrounding tributaries."

Ain't historical ceremonies great.

for starters guys like aaron cross &maxxie live their lives wrapped up in this romanticised delusion of hunters as wanton hardcore killers ,and nothing rational hunters say will change that thinking.secondly lots of wannabe topgunreporters typically wine&dine these so called guardians at the corporate trough ,in order to get the required controversy so their editor will see good paper ratings for the week.their rabid drooling is best greeted by dignified silence.
cross is an ex greyhound owner about as effective as a fish on apushbike and has a reputation of being attentionseeking++++,judging from threads on my brothers website "race cafe:hes fairly well universally despised by the greyhound folk anyhow.
as for the matter of the white swan -lets wait and see as F&Gpursue this entity who obviously must realise hes fairly deeply in the KAKA.he must be pleased we aint in the days of old HenryVIII -or he could be hearing the whoosh of the decending axeblade by this point.
yes ive had the odd incident where birds have needed a second hard glance to verify species ,and ithink most will at some time or other ,but lets keep a sesne of perspective.

As effective as a fish on a push bike. I like that Kotuku, I will use it if you don't mind.

please feel free rushie old bean ,in fact you could use a crayfish doing pilates too if it lights you cigar. must arise,my coffee cups empty and noones here to makeme a fresh one.so much for this man of the house concept!hot barrels l&keen eyes gents!
