: : : How do most Trumpeter Swans live and how long can the fly in the air without stopping?
Hi Chris--thanks for your questions. Trumpeter swans can live to be in their early-mid 20s, although there is record of one living to be 32.5 years! I was unable to find information on the second half of your question, even after consulting the park's bird specialist. He said that there just hasn't been many studies on how long they can fly without stopping.
