Hi Lois

Yes, swans can show stress. If they are indicating pain, they may recoil or squirm, they may even make some vocalizations. However, two of the most prevalent signs are a rise in temperature or gaping (mouth open panting and possibly drooling from the mouth). This can be a sign of heat stress or general stress.
