| Labudovi su najlepše vodene ptice. Kad god ih vidim osetim božansku lepotu, gracioznost, inspiraciju. Perje labudova je ili potpuno belo, ili je mešavina crnog i belog, pri čemu bela varijanta ponekad može imati crne vrhove krila. | Swans are the most beautiful waterfowl. Whenever I see them I feel divine beauty, grace, inspiration. Swan feathers are either completely white, or a mixture of black and white, with the white variant sometimes having black wing tips. |

| Crni labudovi su jedina crna vrsta labudova. Imaju bele vrhove krila i izraženo crveno obojene kljunove. Mužjaci i žene su uvek vrlo slični. Labudovi se od gusaka razlikuju dužim vratom koji omogućava pretraživanje dna dubljih voda, i veličinom tela koje ih čini najvećim vodenim pticama. Raspon krila im može dostići dva metra, a mogu težiti 15 kilograma. | Black swans are the only black species of swans. They have white wing tips and pronounced red colored beaks. Males and females are always very similar. Swans differ from geese by a longer neck that allows them to search the bottom of deeper waters, and the size of the body that makes them the largest waterfowl. Their wingspan can reach two meters, and they can weigh 15 kilograms. |

| Suprotno krilima, noge su im relativno kratke, tako da labudovi na tlu deluju prilično nespretno. Ali zato imaju vrlo snažne letne mišiće pa mogu preleteti i više od hiljadu kilometara do svojih gnjezdišta na severu. Labudovi, koji u proseku žive 20 godina, ceo život provode sa jednim partnerom. Labudovi su u Srbiji zaštićena vrsta. | In contrast to the wings, their legs are relatively short, so that the swans on the ground seem rather clumsy. But that's why they have very strong flight muscles, so they can fly more than a thousand kilometers to their nests in the north. Swans, who live an average of 20 years, spend their entire lives with one partner. Swans are a protected species in Serbia. |

| Labudovi su vrlo teritorijalni i mogu da budu agresivni prema drugim pticama i ljudima, čak i kada su povređeni, a naročito kada imaju mladunce agresivnost je pojačana. U starom Egiptu, verovalo se da labud odvodi duše pokojnika na onaj svet. Kod Kelta, labud je božanstvo Sunca, mistično ali dobroćudno. | Swans are very territorial and can be aggressive towards other birds and people, even when they are injured, and especially when they have young, the aggression is increased. In ancient Egypt, it was believed that a swan took the souls of the dead to the other world. Among the Celts, the swan is the deity of the Sun, mystical but benevolent. |

| Smatra se da ima isceliteljsku snagu Sunca i da njegova pesma ima magijske moći. Stari Sloveni su verovali da labud predstavlja dušu predaka i da može da ima božanske i demonske osobine. U labudove mogu da se pretvore vile, koje umeju da se premetnu u sokola, vuka, zmiju i druge životinje. | It is believed that it has the healing power of the Sun and that its song has magical powers. The ancient Slavs believed that the swan represented the soul of the ancestors and that it could have divine and demonic qualities. Fairies can turn into swans, which can turn into falcons, wolves, snakes and other animals. |

| Legenda kaže da postoje tri vrste vila: planinske, vodene i nebeske. Ove poslednje imaju krila i mogu da lete. Ako ih čovek prevari i uhvati, jedini način da im oduzme moć jeste da im sakrije krila. | Legend has it that there are three types of villas: mountain, water and celestial. The latter have wings and can fly. If a man deceives and catches them, the only way to take away their power is to hide their wings. |

| Njihova prvobitna suština bila je da su vile zapravo duhovi prirode, jer znaju jezik riba i ptica, mogu da leče rane različitim travama, a posebno mogu da olakšaju jad i bol slepima i nerotkinjama. | Their original essence was that fairies are actually spirits of nature, because they know the language of fish and birds, they can heal wounds with various herbs, and they can especially alleviate misery and pain for the blind and barren. |

| Kroz istoriju, vilama se pripisivala moć spajanja sa dušama predaka. Tako je i nastalo verovanje da mogu da uzmu oblik bilo koje životinje, a pre svih labuda. | Throughout history, fairies have been credited with the power to connect with ancestral souls. This is how the belief that they can take the shape of any animal, and above all swans, came about. |
