Adaptations of the Australian Black swan are:
- fine grooves along their bills whic help grip the underwater plants on which they feed
- very long necks able to extend deeper into the water than those of other waterfowl, allowing them to feed on vegetation in deeper water
- extra vertebrae in their necks - between 22 and 25 - to give them greater flexibility
- one of the parent birds is always grounded by moulting to protect the nest: the pen (female) moults first and does not regain her flight feathers until the cob (male) begins to moult
- webbed feet for swimming
