    You haven’t run into them during nesting season. A group outside where I worked decided to nest in the bushes outside one of the entrances and they would attack anyone who came near. They’d just stand outside the glass and posture to attack if you thought about touching the door.

    God help you if you decided to use that exit. We had to eventually just give up and put up a sign until they moved on.

      I have ran into them during nesting season dozens of times, I’ve lived within 2 minutes walk of them for the past 8 years. They hiss if you get close (say within 2m), but that’s about it.

      The swans in the same lake have been far more aggressive.
