Welcome to Swan Lifeline |
BLACK SWANBlack Swan Cygnus
atratus
 Black Swans breed
in Western/Southern Australia, New South Wales, Victoria
and Tasmania. They weigh around 6.4kg (male) 5.3kg
(female). They are not as territorial as other swans and
nest in colonies. Black swans are usually kept in
private collections in the UK and should be pinioned to
prevent their threatening the indigenous mute swans.
Black swans can survive in England in the wild, but
often do not breed very successfully because they
produce their cygnets during our Autumn.
