BEWARE the wee swans around Mounts Bay Road.

Perth city council has had reports of swans being injured or causing traffic accidents trying to waddle across the street.

We hear one family has been making a regular trip through the roundabout at the Narrows bridge every day between 5.30 and 6pm.

It’s currently breeding season for black swans: their cygnets and eggs are particularly vulnerable to dog and cat attacks.

Black swan breeding season ends in a few weeks but the juveniles will need to be given a wide berth for a few months yet till they learn their street smarts.
