ginger would do in an emergency
franky finding a dead swan and even touching it is unwise at the moment.
There may be other dead swans around and taking it away may mean that other people who find a dead swan in hackney may not report it to DEFRA.
It could be bird flu (unlikely) could have been a dog or fox, could have been fishing tackle that killed it.
If you are found with a dead swan in your possession you could be prosecuted and this did in fact happen to a poet recently who found a dead swan and thought about eating it. Somebody reported him, next thing he knew he had been arrested and released on bail.
If this is not a massive wind up you should contact DEFRA for advice on how to dispose of the swan

Bird flu doesn't cause the head injuries you described earlier.riot sky said:Its sitting in the fridge covered in jerk spices, I can't ring up DEFRA now
(I never thought of the bird flu TBH, you're scaring me)

Bird Flu in Stoke Newington. Hundreds may die.

Apparently you cant catch bird flu as long as you cook it properly first
for which may I recommend doing some sort of crispy aromatic duck thing to it (must taste similar!) and make some really big fuck-off chinese pancakes to go with it with lashings of hoi sin sauce. yum yum

Although I'm 99% sure this is a wind up, you absolutely could get avian flu from handling an infected bird.
You should report dead swans to DEFRA and not touch them. Obviously
This has to be a wind up in an attempt to compete with Largin's "I've just injected coke into my penis" thread. Even firky wouldn't pluck a dead swan and baste it in a jerk marinade

You'll be calling it Fusion food next? amirite?
In my experience seasoning 'suburban kill' such as this is all a question of quantity over quality. City monkeys for example can be tendarised with a thorough dousing in tobasco and tube hampsters benefit greatly from a marinade of wasabi
talking of swans theres this nasty fuker in the river behind my house that drowned 2 morhen chicks in a day,a minute ago i saw him trying to drown a baby goose..
not to mention attacking school kids.
so i picked up a shit load of stones
they landed right on the swans back,he fukin legged it.
next time it will be a mortor round.

swans are very aggressive when nesting and sadly it's their nature to attack birds that intrude on their territory
throwing stones at a swan to punish it for attacking other birds makes as much sense as throwing stones at a cat to punish it for hunting mice

Perhaps you'd like to take out a contract on some foxes?
They kill ickle bunny wabbits.
Leopards kill puppy dogs and bambis. Some also kill children (rarely). Perhpas you'd like to spend your energy having them killed?
If a swan is attacking school kids then phone the school and ensure that the school knows to tell the kids to stay away from the swan.
If the swan is feeling threatened it will hiss loudly, flap its wings and raise itself up out of the water before attacking. Anyone with any sense would realise that its time to leave the swan well alone.
The bird will only be at it's most aggressive for a few weeks until its chicks are old enough to take care of themselves.

I'm uncertain of the exact penalty for harming a swan but I'm pretty sure it includes the possibility of a custodial sentence
LOL... just the thought of Tribal Princess and Firky killing and eating a swan makes me chuckle.
Both sat at a posh, long, rectangular table - TP at one end looking all pretty and princess-like with a diamond-encrusted gold tiara and a fancy, majestic dress, silver cutlery and a glass of pinot grigio. And then firky at the other end in extra-scruffy clothes, looking all smug and pissed with a cheeky smirk on his face, and with fags, a pack of rizla and a can of special brew next to his plate.
If I actually saw it happening I'd be curled up in a ball, on my side, on the floor, in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
