COLOUR OF THE WEEK CONTEST | WHITE WEEK | Gray Is The New White

For these little friends, these are the most important lessons in life.

These birds skillfully gather food both on the surface of water bodies and in their depths. To dive underwater, swans lower their long necks and submerge the front part of their bodies. In this case, their legs and tail remain above the water, acting like a float.

Important to note! Cygnets, the baby swans, are not born white. Most white swan species are born gray and turn white as they grow older.

Many cultures consider swans sacred birds, messengers, and fortune-tellers. The secrets of the swan captivate, and the fascination with these birds does not fade.

They swim slowly, majestically, and confidently. 😊

Swans typically mate for life. A pair of these beautiful birds forms a strong bond and continues to mate with the same partner year after year. Occasionally, swans may choose a new partner if their mate dies or they are unable to produce offspring. 💕

All swan species are included in the Red List and are considered endangered. These noble birds need help and protection from humans, as the global swan population does not exceed half a million. ❗

The most important thing is to preserve and pass on this amazing natural heritage to all generations after us. 💗
