all birds that fly in a V formation fly in the upwash from the wings of the bird ahead, which assists each bird in supporting its own weight. Drag is considerably decreased and thus rage of flight increased. Birds rotate to and from the front at time to time
A gathering of swans is called a flock, unless they are flying in a V formation. While in formation flight, the correct term is a wedge.

Yes, swans often fly in a V formation, similar to other migratory birds. This arrangement helps reduce air resistance for the birds following the lead swan, allowing them to conserve energy during long flights. The lead swan rotates positions to share the workload, ensuring that the group can travel efficiently. This formation also enhances communication and coordination among the flock.

All geese like to fly in the V formation also known as a skein formation. This formation helps with their flying efficiency and how far they can fly.

I watch Canadian Geese fly over my house in a v formation all the time. :-)
they fly when they can fly
Swans Fly?Swans can fly very well and very high, and they make it look easy.
Migrating Canada Geese fly in a loose V formation.
There are many reasons that birds fly the way they do. One reason for why they fly in a V formation is because it reduces the air resistance on the birds in the back of the formation.
When they fly, it is the one in the front of the "V" formation.
