Australian Black Swan- Female

6 Months Old.   The Australian Black Swan is the ultimate symbol of exotic waterfowl. With the longest neck in the swan family, these black-bodied, red-beaked birds are a stunning sight on an open pond. They are large, weighing up to 19 pounds. They require lots of access to grass and greens, along with a game bird pellet and hen scratch.     Breeding may occur throughout the year but is often between February-September. Expect up to six eggs per clutch. Black Swans are excellent parents and will take turns brooding. Our swans are pinioned.
