I looked up the price of swans and the numbers that I got are way more than that. As it is swans a swimming. That means that they are hatched and not eggs. The least expensive that I could find was the white mute at $3,083 each with free shipping. That comes to $129,486. The ones I would rather have are the Australian Black Swans. Those come in at $6,500 each with a grand total of $273,000. Trumpeter Swans and Whooper Swans are even more.

Bet you didn't wake up this morning thinking you would know the price of a swan today

PNC cites "a national bird supplier" as its source without giving additional detail.

But how are they more expensive than ladies dancing, or has the slave trade really collapsed in recent years?

That's the cost of rental, not the cost of buying dancers

Can't you rent the swans then?

PNC sets the methodology. To be fair, they've kept it consistent over the years to enable year over year comparisons.

Not sure who your swan guy is, but if you get me $78,750, I'll get you 42 swans.
