🌎 Coscoroba swan (Coscoroba coscoroba)

The coscoroba swan is a medium-sized water bird native to southern South America, found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Falkland Islands. It has a distinctive appearance with a white body, black wingtips, and a bright pink-red bill. Unlike true swans, coscoroba swans have fully feathered faces and can walk more efficiently due to their leg placement. These graceful birds are social and often seen in pairs or flocks. No subspecies are recognised.

🌏 Australian wood duck (Chenonetta jubata) ♀

The Australian wood duck, maned duck, or maned goose is a medium-sized duck resembling a small goose. Females have brown heads with distinct white stripes above and below their eyes, and mottled underparts. Males feature a dark brown head with a small mane, a grey body, and a mottled breast. They are widely distributed across mainland Australia, favouring grasslands, woodlands, and shallow wetlands. Unlike many ducks, they primarily graze on land, often in flocks, and are frequently seen perching in trees. Their calls include croaky "gnow" sounds, with females having a louder, rising call.
