Tuesdays Totally useless bit of Information – The Queens Swans
I found this little bit of information while “surfing the net” yesterday.
“All The Swans In England Are Property Of The Queen.”
Being the Queen of England comes with some perks 
The Queen has the power to call an election, declare war, awarding of honours and the dissolution of Parliament.
The Queen also owns all wild swans living in open water - only the species called ‘mute’ swans. Other species of swans, and those owned by individuals are not owned by Her Majesty.
It is also not treason to kill a wild swan and it does not carry the death penalty, which is what many believe.
and
The Title “Queen of England” has not existed for over 300 years – she is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
oh just one more thing ….
There are 7 different species of Swan:
Black Swan
Black-Necked Swan
Coscoroba Swan
Mute Swan
Trumpeter Swan
Tundra Swan
Whooper Swan
Let’s sing the Swan Song!
Okay, you start.
I’ve read before that they all belong to her, didn’t know it was only a certain kind. That’s for that totally useless piece of info
I thought it was something fun to post. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday.
