A black swan which was removed from a historic town after spending nine months terrorising other birds and tourists has already found his “wife-to-be” at a new home. <\/p>\n
Reggie, nicknamed The Terminator in Stratford, was moved from Stratford-upon-Avon to Dawlish, Devon. <\/a><\/p>\n Donald Phillips, from the Dawlish Waterfowl Centre, said Reggie had “settled in very well” and had already found a mate.<\/p>\n He explained: “I’d put him into the enclosure with two females and he just walked up to them and they sort of followed him around and there was no aggression at all … he was just as good as gold.” <\/p>\n Mr Phillips said he believed Reggie had been behaving badly in Stratford because he was “very frustrated” and the attention he was getting was just “making him more that way inclined … a bit aggressive”.<\/p>\n “I had two females ready for him when he came down … I selected one of the females and I moved him on to a farm where they’ve got a big lake and ducks and he settled in very well. I think he’s picked his swan, his wife-to-be.”<\/p>\n Follow BBC Devon on X, external<\/a>, Facebook, external<\/a> and Instagram, external<\/a>.
