BLACK SWAN

Black swans were first seen by Europeans in 1697, when Willem
de Vlamingh's expedition explored the Swan River, Western
Australia.
The common name ‘Swan’ is a gender neutral term, but ‘cob’ for
a male and ‘pen’ for a female are also used, as is ‘cygnet’ for the
young.[2] Collective nouns include a ‘bank’ (on the ground) and a
‘wedge’ (in flight).[3] Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose
companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.
EMU
4
the distribution of the mainland subspecies has been influenced
by human activities. Once common on the east coast, Emu are
now uncommon; by contrast, the development of agriculture and
the provision of water for stock in the interior of the continent
have increased the range of the Emu in arid regions. Emus are
farmed for their meat, oil, and leather.
