King bird

hitaki
  • Kobuhakuchou | Mute Swan
  • As their name suggests, they have a hump at the base of its beak. They have been bred since ancient times because of their elegant appearance and relatively easy habituation to humans, and they have become familiar to people as models for fairy tales.
    In Japan, they are bred in many places and can be seen in the moat of the Imperial Palace, but there are concerns about the impact on native species in areas where they have overpopulated.
