Swans have earned fame for their beauty and special stately grandeur. Swans live in pairs. Each pair occupies a certain area and protects it from invading neighbors and other birds. The swan is a large and strong bird and the impact of the wing is able to break the hand of a teenager.
Swans form regular couples and remain faithful to their companion for life. It is interesting that in all species of swans (both white and black) the chicks are covered in gray fluff.
Nestlings are well developed and from the first days of life they accompany parents and look for food on a par with adults.
