Question -   I have a question about swans.
I am an English children's author currently living in Brazil.
I am currently writing a book for young children about swans and was
interested in the information your site carries.  My question is this:
"If a swan's nest were to be submerged by floodwaters would the parent
swans be able to move the eggs to a different location?"

No, how would they carry them?
