Swan - love. Cygnus is a symbol of chastity, nobility, wisdom, poetry, perfection.

Swans differ from other bird species in that they have a special place in human life for millennia. Throughout his life, man admired the many unique qualities of these birds. And this is not surprising, since swans are proud and majestic birds, naturally endowed with beauty and grace. Swan loyalty served as a source for retelling legends, as well as writing songs, stories, fairy tales, etc. Swans represent large waterfowl, which belong to the family “duck“ and to the order “goose.“ Only seven varieties of similar birds remain on Earth, with 10 species extinct. It turns out that there were about 17 species, some of which disappeared and of course not without human participation. Swans also differ in that they have a unique plumage color, consisting of white, black and gray shades. Swans are among the largest waterfowl, with a wingspan of almost 2 meters and weighing at least 15 kg. The plumage has a color of pure white, as well as charcoal black or gray shades. But the beak may differ from the traditional color, as it can be gray or dark yellow. Species such as the black swan or mute swan tend to have a red beak color. Above the beak, regardless of the species of bird, there is a characteristic growth. Its color depends on the species of bird, so it can be black, red or yellow. Swans from other representatives of this family can be distinguished by their long neck with the help of which they find objects of food in water. In these birds, the paws are quite short, so on land they are not as comfortable as in the water, and their find may not look as attractive as their appearance. At the same time, it should be noted that the swans have perfectly developed wing muscles, so they look no less spectacular in the air, as in water. Interesting to know! Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the legendary ballet Swan Lake. This was inspired by the real swan lake of Neuschwanstein Castle, which is in Germany. On this lake, he saw majestic birds swimming, both pure white and coal-black shades. Here, my dear friends, are the coordinates where you can meet this extraordinary beauty... Latitude: Longitude:
