Mute Swan facts: they aren't really mute | Animal Fact Files

[@SecretLifeOfSwansByXavier]

Mute swans cygnets are able to fly about 2 months after hatching WHAT? That’s false information, mute swans are able to fly at 4 months old not 2 months old . Mute swan expert hear I been studying them for 3 years now

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Oh wow! Thank you for pointing that out!! We had used this source (animaldiversity.org/accounts/Cygnus_olor/) as the reference for two months, so we had no idea! We really appreciate you bringing that to our attention. =)

[@1fatpenguin200]

Ok?

[@ziaareiltoca8871]

I see, looks like I'm not the only expert here. Thank you

[@rosemimi973]

We had a swan that was living next to our school. He came to see me every break and we shared my lunch.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Aww that sounds so lovely!

[@Elephant-Puppet]

That Sounds Cute

[@chentayy4309]

Have these on my lake every year aggressive as hell unless you got some food for them, love these animals

[@AnimalFactFiles]

That must be lots of fun to see!

[@bluebirdk7fanbc7659]

my swans clifton and cliftina chase off other mute swans and geese. clifton cliftina are savage mutes!

[@chentayy4309]

DRG BONE COLLECTOR almost every year there is a Swan war on my lake the swans that have always been on lake actually lost for the first time this year had to call rescuers because the male died all my neighbors just wanted to save the female and it’s babies

[@claudettepreisinger]

Yes! They hang out at the Lake where I go. They seem to come back in March, but this year they did not. However, the two swans that remained had 4 beautiful cygnets. I hope they stay, and I hope the others return.....

Mute swans are now my favorite species of swan

[@claudettepreisinger]

Me too!

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

The mute swan is the national bird of Denmark, where I was born. Here in Denmark it's illegal to even harm a swan, they are given a lot of respect and in my opinion represent our culture at least partly, though most people are afraid of them.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Oh I didn't know that, that's really cool!

[@margaretpoole7089]

Who'd want to 'harm a swan's? Have utmost respect for them. Pair for Life, raise young devotedly 📯

[@LivingWithGeese]

Outside of nesting territory disputes, Mute swans really have no effect on Canada geese. While Canada geese do like pond weeds, there is no shortage of grass for them to eat, and their legs and weight are far more adapt at land grazing than swans or ducks.

[@claudettepreisinger]

Thanks for all that interesting info! I love swans, especially Mute swans :)

[@paulhanke5827]

They do mate for life.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Hey, Paul! Would you be able to provide some links to scientific papers discussing this? We would love to see where you're getting this information! Thanks so much!

[@margaretpoole7089]

Raise cygnets devotedly

[@HL-qv3yd]

Yes I been studying swans too, they do meet for life, infect we see them every day, we knowing some couples, we have black swans tho.

[@Batman-us4se]

[@jeadahechavez-rollan1586]

They do make great balley dancers since their so bootiful

[@leannezezeski-sass2773]

Mute swans are so much more menacing than other swans because they’re quiet, they only hiss. They also don’t have expressive eyes like other swans so between that and the silence, you can never tell what they’re thinking

[@joelboyd7799]

Some Of This Information Isn’t True

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Hey, Joel! Would love to hear what you're referring to in regards to information not being true. We always try to be as accurate as possible; could you point out specifically what you're speaking about and provide some credible sources to back it up? Thanks so much!! 😊😊

[@joelboyd7799]

Animal Fact Files Baby Swans Fly At 4 Months Old Not 2 Months Old, I Don’t Have Any Other Reasons, Sorry For The Inconvenience, Also Being A Swan Owner Myself I Loved The Photography!!!

[@joelboyd7799]

Also Not Sure If This Is True, But I Have Heard A Momma Swan Will Sit In The Nest Till At least 1 baby Hatch’s And If All The Baby’s Die In There Egg The Mom Will Lay There Till She Dies 😢 Again Not Positive If This Is True But It Has Happened To 1 of My Beloved Swans Before....

[@TomHyde-fd5ri]

Not all of this is correct. Mute swans do mate for life unless the adults have a falling out and 'divorce'. Mute swans lay up to 8 eggs.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Hey, Tom! Would love to see a link referencing these facts. We've listed all our sources in the description, but we're happy to learn if we've missed something. Please send us a scientifically-backed article so we can compare notes!

[@BELLOVLOG10]

I have tons of videos of swans , i invite you to explore them ❤

[@1fatpenguin200]

I like Secretary bird's better

[@AnimalFactFiles]

If anybody sees the swans in the wild they should admire them from a safe distance!

Swans Are Symbol Of Beauty And Modesty Thorough What People Feel Now And Why Are They Considered Ugly🦢 As The Cygnets. I Was Discriminated At First Against My National Modesty And Intellectual Disability And Untill The Time Of Pandemic, I Haven't Revenged Against Failure And Many People Were Hated(Especially Persons With Any Kind Of Disability) Because Of Being Judgemental By People Who Rejected Them. But Mostly Some Oftener A PWD Transformed From A Cygnet To A Swan 🦢. I Hope Sooner Swans Will Be A Symbol Of Empowerment Of Any People With Disabilities. There Was A Swan, Yes, There Is A Swan That Hisses Endlessly When Bullied By Strangers And Many People Got Abused Severely By, But Not All People With Intellectual Disabilities Tend To Be Violent As Swans Do. There Are Swans That Are Aggressive, And There Are Swans That Are Not. I'm A Swan Too, From Philippines. My Girlfriend Hates Me Because Of My Intellectual Disability And She Just Wanted A Better Boyfriend Without Any Disability (As Swans Have It Though). But I Advised Her That "The Main Impairment In Life Is A Bad Attitude Or Lack Of Moral Characteristic". My Best Friend Told Me That Too. So That I Am Glad That I'm A Gentle Swan In The Community, Yet I'm A Great Philippine Eagle Either; Full Of Dreams, And Talents. My Attributes Are Making The Crowd Believe Me Like I Should Follow Them. I'm A Great Elite Swan 🦢🦢🦢 If You Are A Swan Too, Then Come And Fly High To Your Journey! Be A Professional Being With A Good Intent. Every Swan Is A Modest Big Bird In Worlds That We Dream.
