Swans don't sing. They whistle or trumpet, or in the case of the swan most common in ponds, the mute swan, they only hiss and snort. But according to ancient legend, the swan does sing one beautiful song in its life-just before it dies.
What bird sings just before death?
The phrase refers to an ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song just before their death since they have been silent (or alternatively not so musical) for most of their lifetime.
Do swans actually sing when they die?
As poetic as it sounds, this is a myth. No species of swan sings when it dies. There has long been a legend that the European Mute Swan is completely silent throughout its lifetime, only to sing one glorious and beautiful song just before it dies. This is not true.
