I emigrated to Britain. These sorts of things mystified me for the longest time. Yes. Picture some British parents and their child on a walk near a pond, river, canal or whatever. The child sees a swan. The parents will say something like "don't get too close dear, it could break your arm". Swans are aggressive so it's probably not terrible advice, but not because they go around breaking people's arms specifically.
