Mute swan were brought to Ontario, Canada, in the 1950s. They are considered an invasive species in Ontario due to their aggressive behaviour and negative impact on native waterfowl species. The population has steadily increased since their introduction, and efforts have been made to manage their numbers and mitigate their impact.

Six Black Swan eggs sit in a nest on the edge of a lake in Canberra, Australia. The nest is made of a mound of twigs, reeds and vegetation right next to green reeds and water. Nests tend to be reused each year and normally both swan parents look after them. Eggs are normally greenish-white and are incubated for around 40 days.

$The fulvous whistling duck or fulvous tree duck (Dendrocygna bicolor) is a species of whistling duck that breeds across the world's tropical regions in much of Mexico and South America, the West Indies, the southern United States, sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent. It has plumage that is mainly reddish brown, long legs and a long grey bill, and shows a distinctive white band across its black tail in flight. Like other members of its ancient lineage, it has a whistling call which is given in flight or on the ground. Its preferred habitat consists of wetlands with plentiful vegetation, including shallow lakes and paddy fields. The nest, built from plant material and unlined, is placed among dense vegetation or in a tree hole. The typical clutch is around ten whitish eggs. The breeding adults, which pair for life, take turns to incubate, and the eggs hatch in 24–29 days. The downy grey ducklings leave the nest within a day or so of hatching, but the parents continue to protect them until they fledge around nine weeks later.\n\nThe fulvous whistling duck feeds in wetlands by day or night on seeds and other parts of plants. It is sometimes regarded as a pest of rice cultivation, and is also shot for food in parts of its range. Despite hunting, poisoning by pesticides and natural predation by mammals, birds, and reptiles, the large numbers and huge range of this duck mean that it is classified as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.$
