i believe so but sometime u do not want to force them to eat it but i think they do like bread. I think that u have to give them a certain type of bread but u don't want to always give them it cuz then if u keep giving them it they will get used to it and when u stop their not going to be able to find food on their own, AND THEY WILL DIE. U could feed the once in a while but not all the time.

I have cared for two wild mute swans for about 5 years now and feed them JJ's sweet feed. It's a blend of grains, wheat and corn that is actually a horse and cattle feed. A 50# bag at the local Agway store is just $10 and they eat about 5# a day at most so the cost is very minimal. Just $1 a day for such a great pleasure! The river is almost totally frozen over and as they need water, I break holes in the ice and put the food in and around the hole. They can reach down almost 3 feet with their long necks.

I have heard that you can feed them lettuce but these two don't like it. They get bread (whole wheat!) too but only as a treat once a week!
