Hey Seema...I thought the collar looked strange and uncomfortable too but it is for research and apparently doesn't cause too many issues for the swans... try this link for more info...http://www.myswan.org.au/
Thanks for the link Tiffany! The website had some good general info on swans and the collars. I kind of figured it was for research but at the same time I thought it looked a bit like a weight loss device so I had to ask.
Tag is for a research program thats being run in Australia. The public log sightings on the projects website so the researchers can track movements etc, the site is myswan.org
