Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has a new feathered friend that has caught the attention of the media and bird-lovers alike – a Trumpeter Swan named Peep.

Trumpeter Swans are the largest waterfowl species native to North America, and can weigh up to 30 pounds and have a wingspan of up to 10 feet. They were once endangered due to hunting and habitat loss, but have made a comeback thanks to conservation efforts.

Peep is one of five Trumpeter Swans that were released into a pond on the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, in October 2020. The release was part of a program by the Trump Organization to reintroduce the species to the area.

Barron, a known animal lover, reportedly visited the swans with his mother Melania Trump and became attached to Peep. The young swan was named by a member of the Trump family, and has been spotted swimming alongside Barron in the pond.

While Trumpeter Swans are not typically kept as pets, they are known for their docile nature and can become quite tolerant of human presence. They are also a popular bird for wildlife photographers to capture due to their striking appearance and graceful movements.

In addition to their physical characteristics, Trumpeter Swans are known for their distinctive trumpet-like call, which can be heard from a distance of up to two miles. The call is often used during courtship displays and to communicate with other swans.

As for Peep, she has certainly made her mark on her new home at the Trump National Golf Club. Her story has generated interest in the Trumpeter Swan species and the importance of conservation efforts.

Whether swimming alongside Barron or trumpeting her call in the pond, Peep has become a beloved member of the Trump family and a symbol of the beauty and grace of North America’s largest waterfowl species.
