hattyúkat

hattyúkat is the plural form in Hungarian for swans. Swans are large aquatic birds belonging to the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks. They are characterized by their long, graceful necks, stout bodies, and large wingspans. There are typically considered to be seven species of swan, though some classifications differ. These include the Mute Swan, Trumpeter Swan, Tundra Swan, Whooper Swan, Bewick's Swan, Black Swan, and Black-necked Swan.

Swans are found on all continents except Antarctica, inhabiting freshwater lakes, rivers, and sometimes brackish coastal waters. They are primarily herbivores, feeding on aquatic vegetation such as reeds, grasses, and submerged plants. Their diet can also include small insects, amphibians, and fish. Swans are known for their strong pair bonds, often mating for life. They build large nests near water, typically on mounds of vegetation.

The breeding season usually occurs in spring. The female lays a clutch of eggs, which are incubated by both parents. Cygnets, as the young swans are called, are born covered in down and are able to walk and swim shortly after hatching. Swans are among the largest flying birds. Their flight is powerful and often accompanied by the sound of their wingbeats. In Hungarian culture, swans are often associated with beauty, purity, and elegance.
