One day we were walking home from work. We always passed by this reception hall, but we hardly noticed that there is a big pond in it. So we got curious and we get inside. To our surprise we saw flocks of these beautiful swans. Now every time I go home we will just say “hello” to our new found friend.
There are different kinds of swans, black-necked swans, mutte swans, trumpeter swans, tundra swans, coscoroba swans, whooper swans, and the black swans.The black swans are native to Australia. It is the state bird of Western Australia. Black swans are vegetarian They are good gardeners, because they love pulling weeds on the garden. They eat algae and water plants that’s why they can be useful to maintain the cleanliness of the garden pond. However, they attack those whom they found dangerous as they are very territorial.

I see a white swan and I want it painted black…
Now you don’t have to paint it, you already have a model. thanks
I was spoofing the stones…
ohhh I see, what I want to do now is to take pictures of them while their wings are open.
This afternoon we saw a hornbill bird here. actually I saw hornbill bird here twice.
those guys have an impressive wingspan
I didn’t know there are black swans. Lovely photos!
It was my first time to see these lovely black swans also, and was suprised to see them.
Gorgeous pictures! Black swans are stunning.
oh yeah they are so elegant and graceful too. like the white ones.
they do create a stunning visual
Yes, and they are fascinating indeed, right?
Bigtime, and it makes me want to listen to Tchaikovsky
ha ha.. true, and feel like you want to do a little ballet and maybe a bit figure skating.
No skating. In fact, that’s a hard NO to any winter sport
They are vegetarians? I thought all swans eat the same. Interesting facts and lovely pictures 🙂
Yes, I thought so too. I made a little research about them. Learned something about them as well. thanks
They’re gorgeous … so far, I’ve only seen white
That’s common .. but apparently there are different colors that goes with white as well we might not just have noticed, like the one with the yellow beak they are Tundra .. we might just be seeing Mutte.
Additional questions:
Do you know that I am often chased by geese when I was a child?
seriously?? haha I can imagine how fast you run, because they run fast.
Ohhhhh….. Soooo fast!
I was in the middle of my walking route to school, once I pursued them, for the next, my strategy was to bring an umbrella to protect my body.
maybe you were hunting them for Peking Duck recipe. remember they are geese not ducks.
But, isn’t their neck the same length?
One of the wineries near where I used to live keeps black swans to entertain the tourists, and they are very pretty and not often found around here. However, that place also had geese which ran around attacking people. Those I did not care for.
Why are the geese on the loose?
Here too we don’t see black swans.
Very nice post and nice pictures
Thanks. I thought it will never be approved, but thanks it was.
And why not be approved
because this post had been there for days. so I thought it will never be approved.
My dear friend is doing so today – I also sometimes wait for approval for a couple of days
Very nice photos of your new friends
Thanks I will tell them that you told they are nice.
Beautiful photos. And your so fast at posting them or maybe I’m just slacking. : )
haha Yeah I think this had been to the PENDING for two days, I thought it will never be approved.
Good lord, I would have gone crazy waiting for two days. I just submitted my football weekly for tomorrow, and I’m already ready for it to be published, lol
hahaha. maybe there is a “timing” here like don’t submit during weekends maybe just submit on weekdays.
so far I didn’t go crazy I am already crazy.
Sundays are days that they don’t publish things. If you submit Friday night it will be published on Saturday morning.
They’re so beautiful. I’ve only seen white until now. Thanks for these nice photos.
Ohh that’s nice I was surprised myself. They also have white swans
Well done! Nice post!
Thanks I am glad you liked it. Until next time
What beautiful new friends you have. Great photos.
Thanks. They are indeed.
Wow, I have seen white swans, but I have never seen black swans. They are beautiful birds.
They are. I was really in awe. Thanks for responding here. until next time
I don’t know if I like your new friends. Are they friendly, the one by my home chase people.
Yes they are, see I was able to take pictures of them upclose.
