Brian you wrote ‘I believe the swan and peacock could be easily confused as the slender neck shape seem similar.’
I am with you when you write about the slender neck, but that is not what makes the difference when it comes to these two big birds. The difference is the beak, when a peacock is shown the beak is pointed, and when it is a swan the beak is broad and round – not pointed at all.

Radu, if you find a reference inadequate, I would suggest that you ask about it. If the information is a hand, I am sure you will get an answer, if it is possible.
