Pen and Cygnet

Swans build their nests on land out of twigs and leaves, and the female swan lays between 3 and 9 eggs. The baby swans hatch out of their eggs after an incubation of just over a month.

Swans will guard their baby swans furiously from predators or any animal that they believe is a threat. After swans scare off threat, they flap their wings and call to each other in celebration – sort of like a swan high-five!
