Our local Ma and Pa swan now have 7 little swans (signets? I have been corrected - cygnets) to take care of.
The boy loves feeding them - plus it is a way to get rid of our old mouldy bread. The swans seem to love it.
“Please sir, may I have some more?”

Apparently, feeding them bread can kill them
That is why our crazy neighbours keep buckets of dog food around - to feed the swans - thus encouraging rodents of the masked variety (and sometimes even the unmasked variety) to hang around slumbering after a feast and use our boat as a path to said feast while we (try to) sleep
