In Response To: swans killing their young (stef)

My parents have a pair of swans that nest in the lake behind their condo every year. They recently noticed two of the three cygnets were gone and then this afternoon, saw the parents pecking and beating the last cygnet until it drowned. Why would they do this? We'd appreciate your insight.
