Any one Have Silver Swans? I saw this mutation of the Black Swan........ so pretty, I was wondering if someone is trying to develop this color?

I was looking on the net for silver swans and come up with this website: http://www.canadiangoosecontrol.com/about_swans.php Scroll to the bottom and he has this:
Silver Australian Black Swan
The Australian Black swan has a rare color variation. It is known as Silver or Merle. We have a breeding program in place to try and get a pure strain of Silver swans. I currently have 11 Black swans that carry the Silver gene. The idea is to get enough swans with the Silver gene to match up in breeding pairs to produce the Silver swans.
I currently have only one Silver cob to begin my quest for a pure strain of Silver swans. If anyone visiting my web site has Silver or Merle swans I would be interested in buying them to speed up the overall breeding program.
It sounds like there might be some in the future!
