Black swans, which are native to Australia, reach reproductive age at around two years old, but most do not breed until they are 3-4 years old. They breed from February to May in the northern parts of Australia and June to September in the southern regions.
After the birds pair (usually for life), the female lays a clutch of around 8 eggs. The eggs are incubated for 40 days and, once hatched, cared for by both parents. Young cygnets are able to fly by the time they are six months old, but tend to stay with their parents until the next year's breeding season.

How do mother swans protect their young?
The mother platypus prepares a chamber at the end of a burrow especially for the purpose of protecting the young. After she lays one to three eggs, which have already developed within her body for 28 days, she curls her body around the eggs to incubate them for another ten days.
After hatching, the mother platypus feeds her young on milk secreted from glands, rather than from teats. The young are blind, hairless and completely vulnerable. They are suckled by the mother for 3-4 months, during which time she only leaves them to forage for food. As she leaves the burrow, the mother platypus makes several thin plugs made of soil along the length of burrow; this helps to protect the young from predators which would enter the burrow during the mother's absence. When she returns, she pushes past these plugs, thereby forcing water from her fur and helping to keep the chamber dry.
