From the Bay City News Wire:
The swans will live in a section of the zoo called the billabong
, which is an Australian word meaning a pool of standing water that is attached to a waterway. "We're confident that our two swans will be quite happy in a setting such as our Billabong, which matches their Australian homeland," Mollinedo said.
The black swans were given to the zoo by Black Swan Vineyards, an Australian wine company named after the animals. Black Swan Vineyards has also financed the renovation of the Billabong area of the zoo.
"Black Swan Vineyards is proud to support the San Francisco Zoo, a leader in conservation as well as a vibrant community center for recreation and education," said Jennifer Chen of Black Swan Vineyards. "Bringing these elegant and distinctive birds to the zoo is a great opportunity to help people learn more about this unique species," Chen said.
