The black swan is a large waterbird, a species of swan which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. Within Australia, the black swan is nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent on climatic conditions. It is a large bird with black plumage and a red bill. It is a monogamous breeder, with both partners sharing incubation and cygnetrearing duties.
This bird is a regional symbol of both Western Australia, where it is native, and the English town of Dawlish, where it is an introduced species. Black swans are blackfeathered birds, with white flight feathers. The bill is bright red, with a pale bar and tip; and legs and feet are greyishblack.
Mature black swans measure between 110 and 142 centimetres in length and weigh 3.7–9 kilograms. Their wing span is between 1.6 and 2 metres. The neck is long and curved in an "S"shape.

A black swan nest is essentially a large heap or mound of reeds, grasses and weeds between 1 and 1.5 metres in diameter and up to 1 metre high, in shallow water or on islands. A nest is reused every year, restored or rebuilt as needed. Both parents share the care of the nest. Like all swans, black swans will aggressively defend their nests with their wings and beaks. After hatching, the cygnets are tended by the parents for about nine months until fledging. Cygnets may ride on their parent's back for longer trips into deeper water, but black swans undertake this behaviour less frequently than mute and blacknecked swans.
The black swan is almost exclusively herbivorous, and while there is some regional and seasonal variation, the diet is generally dominated by aquatic and marshland plants. The exact composition varies with water level; in flood situations where normal foods are out of reach black swans will feed on pasture plants on shore. When feeding in shallow water it will dip its head and neck under the water and it is able to keep its head flat against the bottom while keeping its body horizontal. In deeper water the swan upends to reach lower. Black swans are also able to filter feed at the water's surface.
