Black Swan

Description:

Black Swans are primarily black-feathered birds, with white flight feathers. The bill is bright red, with a pale bar and tip; and legs and feet are greyish-black. Cobs (males) are slightly larger than pens (females), with a longer and straighter bill. Cygnets (immature birds) are a greyish-brown with pale-edged feathers.[2] A mature Black Swan measures between 110 and 142 cm (43–56 in) in length and weighs 3.7–9 kg (8.1-20 lbs). Its wing span is between 1.6 and 2 metres (5.3-6.5 ft).[2][3] The neck is long (relatively the longest neck among the swans) and curved in an "S"-shape.

Habitat:

Was seen in the pond at the Bydo Temple. The Black Swan is common in the wetlands of south western and eastern Australia and adjacent coastal islands

Notes:

These birds can be aggressive towards humans, especially if his female and babies are swimming close by.
