Swans symbolize grace and beauty, making them the perfect subject for an elegant nature wallpaper!


These black and white birds are indeed both graceful and beautiful, with their lovely long curved necks and ability to glide smoothly through the water. Swans are related to both geese and ducks, but distinct from these smaller and less elegant birds. You may not realize it, but swans are actually one of the largest flying birds - with a wingspan reaching nearly 10 feet! Swans prefer cooler environments and avoid tropical habitats in favor of more temperate locations around the globe. Perhaps one of the most endearing characteristics of these beautiful birds is their habit of mating for life - once a pair of swans mate, they typically stay together for the rest of their lives.


Swans have been highly regarded in many cultures, often appearing in stories, folktales and spiritual teachings. One of the most well known swan tales of our time is the story of The Ugly Duckling - a cautionary tale about personal growth and not judging a book by its cover. In this story, the ugliest little duckling who was picked on by all the others actually grew up to be a beautiful swan!
