"Daddy Swan Manny's Removal Marks the End for Baby Swans at Manlius Pond"
Manny, a male swan in Manlius, NY, was removed from the Swan Pond after attacking his four cygnets. The cygnets were placed in the pond by a wildlife biologist, but Manny showed aggression towards them. He was captured and taken to a home in Pennsylvania, where he can retire. The future of the cygnets is uncertain, as the DEC is unlikely to allow the breeding program to continue due to mute swans being considered invasive. The village may consider trumpeter swans or apply for a permit to breed adult mute swans.
