When cygnets are young it is common to see the male accompanying them in feeding recesses outside the nest.
During nest construction, female trumpeter swans feed significantly more frequently than males in preparation for laying the eggs.
As the eggs are being incubated by the female the male does not feed or sleep as often, particularly when the female leaves the nest.
