Le cygne de Bewick est l'une des deux sous-esp\u00e8ces de cygnes siffleurs. Plus petit que le cygne tubercul\u00e9, plus commun, il poss\u00e8de un cou plus court et un magnifique plumage blanc rehauss\u00e9 d'un bec noir et jaune. Territorial, monogame et tr\u00e8s bavard, il se nourrit \u00e9galement d'algues et recherche les \u00e9tangs d'eau douce, les lacs, les rivi\u00e8res et les zones humides, ainsi que les p\u00e2turages inond\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Aire de r\u00e9partition : Les cygnes de Bewick vivent dans la toundra sib\u00e9rienne en \u00e9t\u00e9 et vers l'est jusqu'\u00e0 l'oc\u00e9an Pacifique. Ils hivernent jusqu'en Grande-Bretagne et dans le Midwest am\u00e9ricain.<\/p>\n
Habitat\u00a0: Les cygnes de Bewick se rassemblent pr\u00e8s de l'eau, car les plantes aquatiques constituent leur principale source de nourriture en \u00e9t\u00e9. En hiver, ils peuvent se nourrir d'herbe s\u00e8che, de c\u00e9r\u00e9ales et m\u00eame de pommes de terre.<\/p>\n
Statut \u00e0 l'\u00e9tat sauvage\u00a0: Le cygne de Bewick est une esp\u00e8ce prot\u00e9g\u00e9e. N\u00e9anmoins, il est menac\u00e9 par les d\u00e9chets miniers toxiques pr\u00e9sents sur sa route migratoire. L'ingestion de plombs de chasse est \u00e9galement une cause importante de mortalit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Statut en aviculture\u00a0: Les cygnes de Bewick sont \u00e9lev\u00e9s en captivit\u00e9 depuis plus d'un si\u00e8cle, initialement pour d\u00e9corer les parcs et jardins pr\u00e8s des plans d'eau. La plupart des cygnes en captivit\u00e9 sont ligu\u00e9s et incapables de voler.<\/p>\n
Reproduction\u00a0: Les cygnes de Bewick s'accouplent pour la vie. Ils s'accouplent au d\u00e9but du printemps, d\u00e8s l'\u00e2ge de quatre ans.<\/p>\n
Incubation\u00a0: Les cygnes de Bewick pondent en moyenne 3 \u00e0 5 \u0153ufs, qui \u00e9closent en 30\u00a0jours environ. Ils ne produisent qu'une seule couv\u00e9e par an.<\/p>\n
Esp\u00e9rance de vie\u00a0: Les cygnes de Bewick vivent environ dix ans \u00e0 l'\u00e9tat sauvage. Ils vivent beaucoup plus longtemps en captivit\u00e9, parfois vingt ans ou plus.<\/p>\n
Poids : Les cygnes de Bewick femelles p\u00e8sent environ 13 livres, les m\u00e2les p\u00e8sent en moyenne 14 livres.<\/p>\n
Besoins en mati\u00e8re de logement\u00a0: Une zone cl\u00f4tur\u00e9e est n\u00e9cessaire pour la prot\u00e9ger des pr\u00e9dateurs. Il est \u00e9galement conseill\u00e9 de planter de petits arbres et des arbustes pour abriter les nids.<\/p>\n

Bewick’s Swans Bewick’s are one of two subspecies of Tundra Swans.
