Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) family, male, female and chick. The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae.

This large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange beak bordered with black. It is recognizable by its pronounced knob atop the beak, which is larger in males.

Young birds, called cygnets, are not the bright white of mature adults, and their bill is dull greyish-black, not orange, for the first year. The down may range from pure white to grey to buff, with grey/buff the most common. More... indianbirds.thedynamicnature.com/2015/04/mute-swan-cygnus-olor.html
