Door knocking swans are 'no bother'
Swans which knock on doors and windows in search of food are part of the community, villagers say.
The hungry birds are often seen waddling from house to house in Kirk Hallam, Derbyshire in pursuit of a meal.
David Cotterill-Drew, who feeds the swans bread and water from his front door, said some of the birds in the village have been chased and even spray painted in the past.
But he said the animals were widely liked by residents, despite their cheeky behaviour.
"They're irresistible," he added.
