The Black Swan is known as the iconic symbol of Australia and as the symbol of Western Australia.
The Black Swan prefers large lakes and lagoons with relatively shallow water. The water is fresh water or brackish water. Outside the breeding season, this species can also be found in a variety of waters such as rivers and coastal waters.
The breeding season of the Black Swan varies according to location. Usually, the breeding season adjusts to the highest period of water level.
During the breeding season, Black Swans form colonies. The nest consists of a large mound of floating, flat material on the water. Sometimes they also make the nest on the ground.
