Egg addling was important in several species, but it was not recorded what proportion of the unhatched eggs were fertile.

There are only two ways to remedy the mute-swan situation: Pay people to locate nests and addle their eggs (addling means shaking each egg hard to kill the embryo inside; if you smash the eggs, the birds will lay replacements, but swans will sit on addled eggs and not lay more), or authorized licensed hunters to shoot the birds. Addling is not only time consuming and expensive, but it's also dangerous because swans regard people who invade their nesting territory as just a larger kind of raccoon.
