Swans are gracefully long-necked, heavy-bodied, big-footed birds that glide majestically when swimming and fly with slow wingbeats and with necks outstretched. They migrate in diagonal formation or V-formation at great heights, and no other waterfowl moves as fast on the water or in the air. Swans are known for their strong and lifelong pair bonds. They form monogamous relationships with their mates, and once they find a partner, they remain committed to each other for life or at least until one partner dies early. This devotion and loyalty in their relationships are symbolic of love and fidelity.
 
Swans are some of the largest flying birds, with the biggest swan species growing up to 1.5 meters long and weighing as much as 15 kilograms!
There are six living species of swan: whooper swans, trumpeter swans, mute swans, black swans, black-necked swans, and tundra swans. Due to their size, trumpeter swans were hunted close to extinction by the 1900s. Rigorous conservation efforts have brought their population levels back to acceptable levels.

Swans lay an average of five eggs per clutch and sit on them for as long as forty-five days before they hatch. Male swans stay on guard duty the whole time a female swan sits on her eggs, and even perform victory dances after warding off predators. Swans can live as long as twenty-four years. It was high treason to kill swans in Britain. This law  was only changed in 1998.
