Believe me if you ever pick up a swan you damn well want to be holding its head or it will bite the shit out of you. The swan's other weapon is the front edge of its wings. It swings them like a club and it hurts.
The way to pick up a swan or goose is to grab its neck right behind the head and pull it forward fairly quickly and get your other arm around its upper body pinning its wings against your side. Keep hold of the head with the other hand. Avoid the feet by keeping them back and way from you. Luckily the critters tend to come at you with their heads forward and extended so they present a pretty easy grab.
