- There were a lot of wild birds in Ireland long ago. There are only a few there now, for example, usually the swan, the pheasant, the wild goose, the wild duck, the water-hen and others. The swan usually builds her nest in the willows and sedge that grows in the water. She depends on a special weed for food called swan weed.
