If so, you can buy a swan from the city of Lakeland, Florida, which is currently supporting - with food and medical care - 80 swans living in Lake Morton. The swans were donated by Queen Elizabeth in 1957. For the past forty years the town has had the Annual Swan Round-Up so that it can closely monitor the health and vitality of Lakeland’s swan population.
The town feels that there are more swans than it can care for. The swans fight over space in the lake and surrounding areas, and they roam onto streets and into traffic. This year two were killed by motorists. So, the town wants to lower the population by half.
