About These Birds
Taiga Bean Goose
豆雁因常在农田觅食豆类和谷物而得名，繁殖于欧亚大陆北部苔原和针叶林带，越冬于西欧、东亚。体型与灰雁相近，但嘴部具黑色和橙色相间的斑纹，腿部橙黄色。迁徙时结大群飞行，常在农田、草地及湖岸觅食。
Black Swan
The black swan was once considered impossible by Europeans who believed all swans were white, making it a famous philosophical example of inductive reasoning failure. It is the state emblem of Western Australia. Black swans form lifelong pair bonds and both parents share in incubation and care of cygnets.
