*** About Mute Swans: Mute swans, characterized by their striking white feathers and distinctively curved necks, are a common sight in the wetlands and lakes of Ontario. Despite their name, these birds are not entirely mute; they communicate through a range of soft grunting noises and aggressive hisses when threatened. Mute swans can be territorial and protective of their young, often seen leading their cygnets in a line to teach them how to forage for food in their aquatic habitats. With a lifespan that can extend up to 20 years in the wild, mute swans form monogamous bonds and are a symbol of fidelity and elegance in many cultures.
