Finwitch:

Meaning you've never seen a live swan couple with (4-7) little ones. 
The stories/paintings/whatever give you that idea, but..

I have seen - up close - two adult swans with 6 babies. One of their 
kids was riding on an adult's back...

They DO hiss. They chase out any other birds off their territory when 
their coming there to eat, and they're *definately* protecting their 
young.
