I chased off their "small" cousins, the Canadian Geese from my dad's lawn when I watched their place. I grabbed my old hockey stick from back in the day and was the most demonstrative I could be in showing aggressiveness. It looked ridiculous to see a 30-something with a hockey stick flailing away running after them, but it worked. Those birds understood what "get out of here I'm dominate" means and fled without attacking or hissing. They didn't come back.
I would not want to go near a swan nest. That would be a nasty fight or flight.

Dang foreign geese. I bet they were illegals. There’s probably some weird sports irony in using a hockey stick to scare off Canadians too.

You realize, you are probably in gross violation of the
Migratory Waterfowl Act of 1918? We have huge problem with Canada Geese in New England, whether or not they are
Canadian, I do not know. What you need is a dog. It is perfectly legal to let your dog chase Canada Geese all over the place, but if you swing a hockey stick or golf club at one, you can be in serious trouble.
