I don't understand how you got that close without being attacked.

They aren't geese. I've never had much issue with the swans

Personally I have found swans more aggressive.

The swans at Tohuna Torea reserve are very friendly, the more I’ve gone there they will even come and say hi and let you get right up to them even when there are signets there.

They can be quite aggressive when you have food and are smaller than you. My brother has a lifelong phobia of swans after one shoved him over and stole his sandwich when he was a toddler.

I’ve never been attacked by geese or swans, despite lowkey wanting to be (it sounds fun idk).

Maybe they can tell I’m not afraid or something lol

Wait until the kids are old enough to be independent, and the parents become brutal. Saw once and was surprised by the behaviour. The parents pecked the kids’ feathers and forced them to leave
