An Australian DNA study found that 1 out of every 6 Black Swans is not the genetic offspring of its “father”.

天鵝[也母]愛紅杏出牆贈鵝公綠帽便宜仔 (http://www.mingpaonews.com/20060609/tba1.htm)

【明報專訊】成雙成對的天鵝向來是忠貞的象徵，但科學家發現雌性天鵝原來最愛紅杏出牆，可憐的鵝公往往要「戴綠帽」，甚至白養「便宜仔女」也不知。

I used to photograph Black Swans on the local lakes near where I lived in Sydney. I often saw a third bird around during the nesting season that was continually being chased off. Maybe he got lucky sometimes.Neil.
