Asked by Wiki User

You can't until they are a certain age. Before that, while the females quack, the males make a 'whong' or 'woooo' sound. If the bill is yellow-green it is probably a male.

How long after mating do black swans lay their eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After mating and building the nest, there is approximately 2-3 weeks before the egg laying begins. Once the female begins to lay, she will produce a new egg every 12-24 hours and it can take up to 2-3 weeks before all the eggs are laid. Once she has laid all her eggs then the incubation period begins and usually lasts about 6 weeks before hatching. Males and Females alternate sitting on the eggs during the incubation period.

What does the blue footed booby contribute to the environment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The blue footed booby lives with two other species of booby, but they have different feeding and nesting areas, for example the blue footed booby lives on the ground and the red footed nests in trees. The red footed flies farther away from shore to hunt for fish than the blue footed. They can thus live in close proximity with each other, and many other seabirds.
