Where do black swans live? Black swans are endemic to Australia, and breed primarily on wetlands in south-eastern and -western Australia and nearby coastal islands, covering a range of between one and ten million square kilometers. They are rarely found in northern Australia and the centre.
Original Distribution: The original breeding grounds of the mute swan are in the British Isles, northern Europe and north central Asia. Since they are a status symbol in European cultures, mute swans have been domesticated in Western Europe since the 12th century.
