Yeah, swans do use their wings. They use them for flying, especially when they migrate or move to a new place. Their wings are also super strong, and they use them to protect themselves or their babies. Sometimes they flap them to scare off threats. So yup, those big wings aren’t just for show!

What do swans do when they need to take a rest and they are flying at 33000 feet?

When swans need to take a rest while flying at high altitudes, they can glide or soar, allowing them to conserve energy without flapping their wings continuously. They may also descend to a lower altitude where the air is less turbulent and conditions are more conducive for resting. Swans can briefly stop flapping their wings to catch their breath while maintaining a steady glide. However, they typically do not remain airborne for extended periods without resting, as continuous flight at such heights can be exhausting.
