Amazing for 250 year old automaton. A bit odd that the show is it catching a fish! Swans are not predators. Given the immense diligence it must have taken to build, I hardly imagine they overlooked that fact - they must have cared less for ecological accuracy than for making a good spectacle.

Swans do occasionally eat small fish.
Sometimes even larger ones: https://youtu.be/HA44-I6RgY4
