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.
At around 3 years old, the swans find life-long mates. They nest the following year at around late March and early May. The nesting locations are found on small islands, on top of muskrat and beaver lodges, or on shore. A breeding pair usually nests in the same place year after year.
