We have swans in the lake by my house. We have been here for three years and each year, its been the female that incubates the eggs exclusively.

Ponds, lakes, slow-going rivers and freshwater marshes.

A full grown black swan weighs between 8. 2 to 19. 8 pounds. The weight of a black swan can also be impacted by other features, such as, its wing span. The average wing span of a black swan is 5. 2-6. 6 feet.

In the UK ,as many people will know, it is against the law to kill a swan. However, if you do decide to do away with one do it on the Orkney Islands. A Viking law states that swans that are in Orkney belong to anyone. But the second you walk onto any part of the UK that isn't Orkney, they belong to the Queen.

Killing a swan is not recommended anywhere!!

There is a myth that if we keep a solution of milk and water to drink for swans, they drink only milk and leave the water seperately.

they migrate south for the winter and north for the summer

They sound like a goose when they are upset and they can be very mean when they want to.

Vegetarians eat no meat - including bird and fish - so swan is not suitable for a vegetarian.

A related fact; in the UK all swans on the Thames are the property of the monarch.

A cob can mean a male swan or the inner part of the corn ear. There are other meanings for this word. For example, cob can mean a short or stocky horse. It also can refer to a combination of clay and straw used as building material.

Generally they are NOT herbivores, but unlike other birds they have small jagged 'teeth' and thus are able to catch small fish

None they are vegetarians so they don't eat meat such as fish
