Whooper swan - have you heard any hissing? | BirdForum
Hi all, I was wondering if whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) make hissing sounds when frightened or fighting a predator. Has anyone experienced that? I have watched several attacks of arctic foxes on these swans but was never close enough to hear the sounds involved. Thanks, Tobias

Swan Aggression - BirdForum
I've always thought it is strange that Mute Swans are so aggressive as they are so huge that you think that would be enough. I've not had the same experience as Walwyn with regard Whooper Swans which are common breeders here. I think Mutes are far worse. There is one water bird in Iceland which outdoes them all and that is Great Northern Diver.
