Swans pictured moments ahead of release back to the wild
Frequently Asked Questions
How wide an area do you cover?
In principle, we cover the Yorkshire and Humber region. We are hugely reliant on the goodwill of volunteer rescuers, who selflessly give up their free time at great personal and financial sacrifice, assisting the charity between their everyday commitments, families and own jobs, to respond to the many rescue calls we receive each year.
Can we come and view the animals at the sanctuary?
Wildlife casualties are prone to stress very easily, and therefore in order to keep disturbance to a minimum whilst the animals are recovering, regretfully our rescue facilities are not open for public viewing. Doing so would compromise standards of care for our patients.
How can I receive an update on an animal brought to the sanctuary?
We make every effort to contact finders to provide feedback when it is necessary, usually in the interests of the animal in question. Updates on casualties are posted frequently on our social media pages, and we try to return as many queries as practically possible. However please remember, given the high and demanding volume of work we undertake each year, updating individuals on animals in our care is the lowest of our priorities, and we simply cannot provide updates on every individual animal being cared for, so please respectfully consider this when bringing an animal to us to avoid any potential future disappointment.
You recently rescued a young swan (cygnet) but it was not returned to it's parents, why?
When rescuing young swans, there is a very small window of opportunity - usually no greater than 48 hours - to safely reunite the bird with it's parents, otherwise the adults will likely not recognise the cygnet as their own, and will often forcibly reject it from the family group. Those cygnets requiring lengthy periods of treatment (an course of antibiotics typically lasts for a period of seven days, for example) clearly cannot be returned within the safe timeframe, and therefore remain in our care with the company of other cygnets of similar age until fully grown and eligible for release, typically in the autumn and into a local non-breeding flock.
How long do swans stay in your care?
This varies between swan casualties depending on how severe their initial injury or sickness. Some birds may stay just a matter of days and others for several months, whilst they recover in our care. The law rightly dictates that rehabilitated wild animals must stand a reasonable chance of survival when returned back into the wild. Therefore, animals only leave our care once they are deemed to have met our high standards for achieving a good chance of survival following release. Furthermore, we hold off releasing animals in periods of extreme weather conditions, which includes heatwaves or in freezing temperatures, for the reasons explained above.
Do you collect dead swans/animals?
As a small volunteer led charity with very limited resources, we naturally prioritise calls for animals we can nurse back to health. Sadly, we therefore do not collect dead swans or wild animals from waterways/highways. Furthermore, due to the current high prevalence of avian influenza (bird flu) in wild bird populations, and the associated risks of any potential spread of the virus, deceased wild birds should always be reported to the Government body DEFRA on 03459 33 55 77, who will arrange collection of the bird(s) for testing purposes. Any deceased mammals on highways can be reported to local Council authority or the land owner, who will likely arrange for their collection. Owing to their protection in law, wherever swans are suspected to have been illegally targeted and killed, your local Police force should be contacted, who will arrange for dedicated and trained wildlife officers to respond accordingly. If a dead swan is carrying a leg ring, these can be reported to info@ysrh.org.uk
Do you provide talks to community groups?
We regularly provide illustrated talks on our work to interested groups. Talks are free of charge, but we do welcome a donation in support of our work and travel expenses. If your group is looking for a speaker, you can book a talk by emailing us at info@ysrh.org.uk
Do you care for other animals other than swans?
Whilst rescuing and treating swans is the main objective of our charity, we have other limited facilities to care for other species of wildlife which may require help. Wild animals regularly treated at our facility include hedgehogs, birds of prey, badgers, deer and other waterbirds such as mallards. However, we are limited in the number of animals of varying species we can safely accomodate at any one time. Details of other local wildlife rescue centres who may also be able to help can also be found on the helpwildlife.co.uk website.
Can you help rescue cats/dogs/domestic animals?
Being a wildlife charity, we do not rescue domestic animals of any description, including pet rabbits, poultry and farmyard ducks/geese. There are many organisations concerned with the rescue and or care of domestic pets, and these are included in the directory listing on the www.helpanimals.co.uk website.
Can I bring my injured/sick pet bird to you?
No. The animal must be seen and treated by your own veterinary surgeon.
What can I feed swans?
Swans have enjoyed handouts from members of the public for hundreds of years. Indeed, in the winter months when their natural food sources are depleted, this kindness can be a life saver to swan populations. Good feeds to provide include mixed poultry corn/wheat, floating swan pellets, sweetcorn, cut grass, bread and uncooked leafy greens such as lettuce, watercress or spinach. All foods must be fresh and free from mould to avoid illness, and all food provided should be fed in the water to aid digestion. Uneaten foods left floating on the surface of a waterway can go mouldy, so we would recommend only feeding as much as the birds will eat at any one time.
Is bread bad for swans?
No. There is no proven scientific evidence that fresh bread causes ill effects in swans as part of a varied diet. Furthermore, in all our years of operation, we have never treated a swan for illness as a result of consuming fresh bread. The feeding of bread is also supported by all reputable swan rescue centres, the Ornithology department at Oxford University and Her Majesty the Queen’s Swan Marker.
Can swans be over-fed?
Swans will only eat what they require.
Is it normal for a swan to fold one of its legs up onto its back?
Yes. Swans often rest their legs tucked upon their backs or spread out behind them, giving the impression to those unfamiliar with the posture to wrongly assume the leg is broken. Swans can also be observed standing on one leg when out of the water, and resting the other up or out behind its body in the same way. The large webbed surface area of the foot is used to control body temperature, absorbing heat from the sun when necessary.
I’ve seen a lone swan. Shouldn’t they always be in pairs?
A common belief if that swans should always be in pairs. This is incorrect. Many swans, especially youngsters, choose to live in a solitary way until they choose to find a mate. It should be of no concern to see a lone swan.
I’ve seen a swan in a field. Is this normal?
Swans often land in fields and providing the bird is uninjured, should be no cause for concern. This is particularly common in the winter months, where swans graze in fields of grass or developing crop, when natural food sources on their waterways are more sparse. A swan will often leave at last light to retire to the safety of a local stretch of water for the evening, only to return at first light the following day, giving the impression to local observers that the bird has not moved. Whilst swans are more exposed to natural predators whilst on land, they should still be left to their own devices.
I don’t like an area where a swan is living. Someone might injure it, or a predator could kill it. Can you come and move it?
Swans rightly enjoy high protection from human interference under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. It is therefore entirely illegal for anyone to remove or relocate a healthy swan, it’s eggs or nesting habitat. Provided the bird is not sick nor injured, the law dictates the animal cannot be moved or rescued from a stretch of water where it has chosen to live, and if any “rescuer” did so, they would risk prosecution. Moving the bird to another body of water wouldn’t guarantee its safety from natural or man-made threats, and indeed it could prove entirely pointless anyway as the bird could easily fly back - potentially causing injury to itself in the process. Anyone cruelly targeting a swan is committing a criminal offence, and this should be reported immediately to your local Police force, who have trained wildlife crime officers and the appropriate resources to respond accordingly. We are of the strong belief that swans should be left to their own devices in their rightful place in the wild as nature intended, and we do not respond to demands to move swans just to placate members of the public, however well meaning their intentions may be.
I’ve noticed a swan nesting in a vulnerable area. What can be done?
If the nest is vulnerable to interference from human factors, such as on a Canal towpath or the bank of a pond where people walk their dogs, then you should contact your local council authority, the Canal & Rivers Trust or the land owner to politely request they erect protective temporary fencing around the nest site. If the nest is vulnerable to natural events such as high tides or floodwater, then it should be left alone so that the swans can learn from the experience – if a young couple lose a nest under these circumstances then they will learn not to build a nest so low down the following year. Sad as it is, they have to be allowed to learn from natural experiences, which is one reason why it is illegal to interfere with a swan’s nesting attempt in any way.
One of a pair of nesting adult swans has disappeared/been killed – should anything be done?
No, and it would be against the law to do so. The remaining bird will take over the nesting process, and is quite capable of rearing the cygnets alone.
The female swan hasn’t left the nest for weeks. Will she die?
People often worry that nesting females will starve to death when they are nesting, as they rarely leave the nest site to feed. All female swans feast ahead of any nesting attempt, especially before the long egg incubation period, which takes around six weeks before cygnets will hatch. It is normal and expected for swans to lose weight during the nesting period. Food should never be thrown at the bird or piled up beside the nest; this can cause illness if left uneaten to go mouldy, and also attracts predators to the nest site.
How long do the cygnets stay with their parents?
Cygnets are considered independent of their parents once they are fully grown, and can fly the family nest from as early as four months after hatching. Some parents tolerate their youngsters for longer periods, sometimes as late as spring of the following year.
Is it normal for the parents to be chasing their cygnets away once they’re several months old?
This is perfectly natural and important behaviour. The adult birds will have been chased off by their own parents, and the cygnets will do the same to their youngsters once of breeding age. Whilst sometimes distressing for members of the public to witness given the increased aggression from the parent birds, the cygnets should be provided the opportunity to leave naturally to find their own way in the world, which can sometimes take several days. We would only intervene as a final last resort, or if one of the birds have become injured as a result, as the law dictates.
I’ve seen adult swans fighting. What can be done?
Again, this is perfectly natural behaviour, especially in early spring when swans are searching and competing for nesting territory. This behaviour can be distressing for members of the public to witness, but it is important the swans are left to their own devices, as the law states. The only time we would intervene is if one of the adult birds becomes injured as a result.
I’ve seen a swan pulling all its feathers out. Is this normal?
Typically, in late summer each year, swans undergo an annual moult of their flight feathers. This gives the impression to those unfamiliar with this natural event that the birds have pulled their own feathers out; this is not the case. Breeding pairs moult after one another, so the family group is not vulnerable, ensuring a fully flighted parent to protect their cygnets. Swans are unable to fly for approximately six to eight weeks from the time that they first lose their flight feathers, to the time they have grown new ones.
Can swans take off from land?
Yes, but they require at least 30 yards to become airborne, and the same again to reach a safe height to clear surrounding obstructions such as houses and trees.
I’ve seen a swan with a big lump under its beak – should I do anything?
This is normally a “grass ball” - a collection of natural vegetation that has slipped under the tongue when grazing - and no cause for concern.
I’ve seen a swan with big lumps on its feet the size of marbles – should I do anything?
This is normally “bumble foot” - calluses caused by the bird regularly standing on hard ground - and not a cause for concern, unless the swan is unable to walk.
Why do some swans have orange coloured stains on their heads?
This is caused by minerals such as iron, which are naturally found in our waterways, and stain the feathers of the bird. It is not a cause for concern.
Do swans sleep on land or water?
Both. They can sleep standing on one leg or whilst floating, usually with their heads tucked back under a wing.
I’ve noticed a swan carrying a ring on one leg. What does this mean?
The ringing of birds is undertaken by extensively trained and appropriately licensed ringers from the British Trust for Ornithology, for the purpose of study. Many swans across the country are studied and fitted with harmless unique colour leg rings (similar to a human wearing a wrist watch), which allow for easy individual identification from distance, and affords the movements, longevity and breeding success of birds to be constantly monitored. A wealth of data is produced each year, and the rings also assist greatly in the rescue and rehabilitation of swans. Our volunteers assist in the ringing of swans in the Yorkshire region, and all successfully rehabilitated swans are ringed upon release. Any swan carrying a ring yellow or red in colour in the Yorkshire area can be reported to us at info@ysrh.org.uk where the reporter will receive a full history of the bird in response.
Is it true that all mute swans in the UK are owned by His Majesty the King?
His Majesty the King has the prerogative right of ownership over all mute swans in England and Wales.
Do you have any paid jobs available?
As a volunteer led charity, we have no paid positions available.
Do you take on new volunteers?
From time to time, we accept new volunteers to undertake regular duties at the sanctuary. Applications for new volunteers are currently closed (for aspiring veterinary students, please see below), but keep an eye on our social media pages for future vacancies. We do however welcome new volunteers to help with fundraising efforts; this is vital for the continuation of our work with ill, injured and orphaned wild animals. Please contact us if you can help.
I’d like to become a veterinary surgeon. Do you offer any work experience for students?
We offer a limited number of placements at our sanctuary each year to ambitious students hoping to secure a place at one of the veterinary schools across the country. Generally speaking, opportunities for students to gain first hand experience with injured and recovering wild animals is limited ahead of university entry, which is why we have created a number of placements to provide opportunity to future veterinarians. We invite applications year-round from hard working students who are both serious and focussed on securing a university placement to become a vet, and we especially want to hear from those who wish to work with wildlife/exotic species post qualification. If you would like to apply for a work experience placement, please email your interest and relevant details to info@ysrh.org.uk
Do you supply animals to film companies, television shows or for events?
No.
In principle, we cover the Yorkshire and Humber region.
