do u feed them ,do they let you touch them ? i have been terrified of those since i was a kid i was fishin in a pond and two of them came right at me , have to understand i was small probably 10 yrs old so they looked huge they had a nest around the pond i think anyways i ran left the pole and everything

If you go by Thier nest they will run towards the threat. This pair has been around our nieghbor hood for about 4 years now. The male will allow you to touch him, but not the female. She will come and take seed n bread out of our hands, but that's about it. It's nice to see them have a second brued. The last one they had stuck around for about 10 months to a year. Then one day we never saw it again. So it must have flown and found a mate.

I had one eat two of my spinners when I was Bass fishing with my son. Damn basterd swam faster then I could reel it in, came right up to the boat. Had to take my bat and wrap the side of the boat for him to leave. LOL
