Nature Quiz - British Birds - Ducks, Swans and Grebes (Questions)

Swans are the largest members of the duck family Anatidae, and are among the largest flying birds. In Hinduism they are compared to saintly persons whose chief characteristic is to be in the world without getting attached to it, just as a swan's feather does not get wet in water. When preening, grebes eat their own feathers, and feed them to their young. The function of this behaviour is uncertain.
