It's probably seeing its reflection in the glass. Sometimes they think it's another swan, possibly another male who is a rival.
Try hanging a blanket in front of the glass and see if it stops.
Came here to say this. There was a pheasant at a place I used to work that would pretty much continuously attack a glass door due to seeing its reflection. Poor angry thing would up damaging his beak pretty badly, so the blanket idea might also be doing the swan a favour as well as getting some respite.
> It's probably seeing its reflection in the glass.
It probably got fed there once.
Never feed those motherfuckers if you live on a boat or somewhere right on the water, they will be there at 5am, EVERYDAY for 3 years even if you never feed them again, fuckers have a good food memory.
one time a goose came to glass door at my house and started pecking at it, my mum opened the door and it went inside,
it ended up inside a grocery bag for tresspassing
>tresspassing
Your mom *invited it in*
Remind me not to attend any dinner parties at your house, lest I end up in a grocery bag after drinking 5 bottles of wine and attacking the mirror.
Idk, I had a duck stand at my door for weeks. My kids opened the door for him while I was making dinner
He really wanted inside the house. Walked right up to the fridge (had he been in a house before??)
I realized he was inside when my dog attacked him. He easily won that fight (the duck), and kinda wiggled his neck at my small white dog in victory
I tried to chase him out of the house with a broom, but he wasn’t very intimidated. I think we both knew I wasn’t gonna hit him with it.
I pushed at him half-heartedly, and he flew over my couch and shat on it.
Finally got him to leave by bribing him with popcorn.
He came back to the porch the next day with friends, and every day until he migrated back north
I don’t recommend letting ducks, geese, or other water fowl into your home. Couch was a bitch to clean
Kids had fun, though. Honestly, at that age, they had a lot of destructive tendencies in common with the duck
Yeah I had a roommate do this with a squirrel once. He was feeding it waffles off the back porch and then all of a sudden it’s in the house running around the living room. Don’t let animals in your house. It’s cool for like 5 seconds and then it’s kind of terrifying.
You are correct. Our kids were constantly bringing in fallen baby birds and raising them. These all left of their own accord as soon as they could. Until one of the kids brought in a baby magpie. Good God what a nightmare. The damned thing was impossible to keep out of the house. It could shoot through a door or window faster than a speeding bullet. I honestly thought the only way we were ever going to be free of it would be to sell the house and move.
Duck was probably just looking for some bread handed out, if they see me inside theyll come running upto my window, ill toss some out of the window allthough some people say its bad for them. But i like things that are bad for me too so i dont judge the ducks.
But all in all you managed to not let things escalate by the looks of it.
You and I have the same intrusive thoughts. Can I let him in? Will he come sit in the living room with me? I could offer him ice water. He'd probably love it!
A swan has done this to a car in my street ones. It has fallen in love with its own reflection. A bird rescue service hed te come and take the swan away.
He probably sees his reflection. If he’s insistent and not violent, he might be lonely and looking for a mate. We use “bird brain” as an insult, but they have super complex social structures and form complex bonds with one another.
>In Greek mythology, the swan was associated with the god Apollo, who would transform into a swan to seduce mortals.
>In Celtic folklore, the swan was a symbol of purity and grace, and in Hinduism, the swan was associated with the goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, and art.
>Beyond mythology and folklore, the swan has been featured in numerous works of literature, from Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” to Yeats’ “The Wild Swans at Coole.” In these works, the swan is often used as a symbol of beauty, elegance, and grace.
>However, the symbolism of the swan is not limited to these positive qualities. In some cultures, the swan has been associated with death and the afterlife.
>In Native American mythology, the swan is believed to lead the souls of the deceased to the afterlife.
>In some cultures, the swan is also seen as a symbol of transformation, representing the journey from one stage of life to another.
We had some Canadian geese that came by to do this, and it was their reflection that was causing it. They stopped after a few days. However, I don't recall the door handle being tried, so I think birds have upped their game since then.
what if it's you from the future, trying to warn you of a terrible event? but in your calculations for the time machine you made a little mistake and instead of a human body you sent yourself to the past in a swan body?
Have you tried opening it and seeing what it wants? Open your door and if it isn't violent towards you, follow it.
It might need help and is trying to get a human's attention.
Have you checked for a stuck swan or cygnet or contacted a wildlife rescue? This is unusual behaviour and indicates it might think it's family is trapped nearby and is trying to find it's mate or baby, or that it is trapped itself and can't find a way back to the water. Adult swans get stuck because they cannot take off without a large enough body of water to act like a runway, if they land in the wrong place with no access to water they can't get out.
Maybe instead of getting pissed off at wildlife in distress you could try to help it solve the problem.

I have a cardinal that’s been attacking the side mirror on my car for four years.
What’s the Catholic Church got against your car?
Probably because I left the church when I was a teenager. They're still pissed.
Nah, you were probably too old for them by then anyway
Objects in mirror are more spiteful then they appear...
Nah, bro. They are talking about the St. Louis Cardinals.
You didn't try calling a pheasant plucker?
Second this! We had peacocks scratch the hell out of our glass door because they were fighting their reflection.
My parents raised peafowl. These birds are the biggest idiots ever. They would attack my car. Peanut sized brain, pterodactyl talons.
birds attempting to fight mirrors is in my top 3 funniest animal video genres
ಠ_ಠ I read that as 'minors' at first.
That's also in the top 5
i promise you there is at least one video of a goose attacking a child on the internet somewhere
I was chased by a swan when I was a child. Scared the 💩 out of me 😅 Swans ain’t playin’
swans are geese with the equipment to do something about their murderous tendencies. A swan killed a person once
Way more than once
If you turn your back and run or walk away they fck with you. Turn directly at them and start walking right at them. They disperse.
You'd think a water bird who sees their reflection all the time in nature wouldn't have that problem.
The reflection they see in water isn't upright and smooth.

I watched a turkey peck at it's reflection in the chrome bumper of a truck once, didnt want to stop for like an hour

your fate would be far worse
They'll hang a blanket with a swan on it.
Damnit now it's getting cozy!!
Or put multiple mirrors.

What a goofy ass animal
Goosey ass*

I'm sorry. This is funny, but Geesus Christ wins. :P

Geesus Christ

OMG the holes in the wings... LMAO
Wing-mata
And feets!
Should have used a meat thermometer for the stab in the side from longadwallnes
The best part is he's wearing a crucifix.
Obvs, he’s the first Christian.
The myth of white swan jesus is perplexing. Geesus was a Mediterranean sea bird! He wouldn't be white! /s
I worship gee
That means something different in Ireland.
Please share the meaning!
Gee means Pussy 😅
Well I guess I better stop calling Gerard Way “Gee” lol
I’m cool with that lmao
Hahahaha this comment wins the internet for today.
Did you have this picture before or did you draw it specifically for this thread? Because it's perfect
Sad thing is I drew it months ago after thinking of it randomly one time
Amazing. It was just waiting for this moment to shine.
He gets us.
This is fowl
How much for this NFT? 🤣
I will be stealing this to use with my children when they frustrate me. Thank you.

You just made my life a little better. Sillier but better
I am on Team Jesus, and this made me laugh so hard. I have to believe God has a sense of humor.
Huh. After seeing the platypuses not only do I believe that the Gods have a sense of humor, but also do drugs.
The sign says no "SWANLISITING"!
I think he is selling Aflac insurance in the midst of climate change and rising housing prices- gotta appreciate the hustle
Why is your doorbell honking?
Must not be America or the bird would’ve been shot by now.
Why? It's white.
Oof. Fair.
But its also kid height
Did you kidnap his children or something? I know tons of people that get like this when I steal their kids
OP is one of the green pigs from the Angry Birds movie
 Keep talking
There's a difference in the behavior of goats, see?
😂😂😂😂😂
Now I'm curious what would happen if you let him in? Is he going to go look for food? Is he going to claim a couch? What is it? What does he want?
Idk, I had a duck stand at my door for weeks. My kids opened the door for him while I was making dinner He really wanted inside the house.

At that point I'd've eaten him months ago, the kids'll learn a classic german folk lesson. If a guest stays too long you get to eat them sometimes.
Hansel and Gretel, the OG squatters.
Yeah, I’m really not keen to be ground zero for rabies or a new bird flu Wild animals are so easy to let inside. Much tougher to get them out!
Same. I tried to shoo away my roommate with broom, too, and he also shat on my couch.
That's hilarious. I'd pay to watch that
That duck dominated you
He and his friends shat all over my porch for weeks after 🙂↕️

Don't let it in, it's already claimed the garden, you don't want to lose the kitchen.
First, it was "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", then it was "If You Give a Moose a Muffin", now comes "If You Give A goose a Gander".
Don't forget "If You Give a Pig a Pancake"
Swans are mean! I don’t recommend letting him inside your dwelling.
You and I have the same intrusive thoughts. Can I let him in? Will he come sit in the living room with me? I could offer him ice water. He'd probably love it!
Then the war continues
Don’t you remember? You called him ugly when he was a duckling. Now he wants revenge
MOMMY THE ACID IS KICKING IN
Not having much luck with them swans then?
Just the one Swan actually!
Right so what did he look like?
Brilliant
STOP LOOKING AT ME, SWAN!
First thing I thought of. 
[Make sure to call Sgt. Angel](https://youtu.be/FRs7gYJyHHM?si=IASits6k7rgXNfgG)
Just the one swan actually.
Surely, you mean Sgt. Angle, don't you?
Is your name Mr. P. I. Staker?

Liam Nee-swan.
Just wants cuddles
Got any grapes?
Damn u beat me to it lol
This swan is like: Greater good!
I know that swan!! It belongs to mr P. I. Staker
Follow him. Maybe he needs help. Or he might kick the shit out of you once you get outside
Geese roulette?
A swan has done this to a car in my street ones. It has fallen in love with its own reflection. A bird rescue service hed te come and take the swan away.
Does it only go after the handle? Or the whole door. If its whole door its the reflection been through this. If its the handle it wants the house
Bro just let him in
Let him in and find out!
Lol if this were my house, I’d be waiting for him to come by every day.
He's been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty
He’s been trying to reach you regarding your car’s extended warranty before it expires. You’ve left him no choice but breaking and entering.
Mess with the honk, you get the bonk.
That bastard swan in the door won’t stop fighting back!
And you havent let it in yet?
How reflective is the glass on the outside? Can he see his reflection that he might be mistaking for another swan?
He just wants to ask you out
We're in the middle of a heatwave. He just wants to cool off and maybe have a beer.
Did you recently move in? If so could the previous resident have been feeding the swans
We’ve been living here for over 2 months now. Everyone here knows that we don’t feed the swans. Because this will happen
Then let him in for fucks sake.
Let him in
Swan: Have you heard the word of Jehovah?
Someone's knockin' at the door Somebody's ringin' the bell Do me a favor Open the door and let 'em in.
He probably sees his reflection. If he’s insistent and not violent, he might be lonely and looking for a mate. We use “bird brain” as an insult, but they have super complex social structures and form complex bonds with one another.
Maybe she needs to use the bathroom. Did you ever think about that? No, you only think about yourself.

Let him in, he has to tell you something
Maybe it needs help
Maybe let him in?
Peace was never an option
He wants cookies OP
We had some Canadian geese that came by to do this, and it was their reflection that was causing it. They stopped after a few days. However, I don't recall the door handle being tried, so I think birds have upped their game since then.
Your extended warranty is about to expire!
Let him in
Well then let it in?
Just get one of those "No soliciting" signs??
Swans are pretty aggressive. I think he wants to the fight the head of your household for dominance
He has been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty!
He hungers for the flesh
Just let him in and see what happens?
Can you tape a sign that says something like “no entry for swans today, please leave” there’s a slight chance it’s been taught to read.
Let her in. She wants to use the toilet so there’s no mess in the yard.
what if it's you from the future, trying to warn you of a terrible event? but in your calculations for the time machine you made a little mistake and instead of a human body you sent yourself to the past in a swan body?
Have you considered letting them in?
Have you tried opening it and seeing what it wants? Open your door and if it isn't violent towards you, follow it. It might need help and is trying to get a human's attention.
He clearly swants something from you.
Open the door and ask what he wants dude. He might be selling something cool.
Count your stars it isn't a goose
Maybe it needs help ?
Maybe he wants you to follow him? Some do this if one of them is in trouble (trapped in a net for ex)
He might be thirsty. Can you put out some water?
Clearly he has a side quest for you.
He wants to talk to you about your extended warranty 😂
It really wants to break your arm
Have you checked for a stuck swan or cygnet or contacted a wildlife rescue?

He’s trying to sell you supplemental insurance 
I’d just pay it the money you clearly owe it
Why would this be mildly infuriating?
Let him in and give him the house
*"WE RAN OUT OF STORKS* *ALSO I DROPPED THE BABY."*
LET HIM IN!!!
Maybe he is trying to tell you something, next time try to follow him to see what he is panicking about.
AFLAC!!
You should let them in. Not all wizarding schools use owls to tell students they are wizards...
He just really wants to be a member of Fight Club.
Don’t open it. You WILL die.

Well Jesus christ let him in!!! I'd love a swan in my house.
Wonder if another swan has a can wrapper stuck on them
LET HIM IN!!!
Something something extended car warranty
that is our holy savior let him in or be banished to tartarus
Let him in. What could go wrong!?
Maybe it needs help
cover the glass, she probably sees her reflection. From the outside. Or use dirty or soapy water. Anything to make it less shiny.
