Mandarin Duck

This duck, native to Japan, Korea, China, and the United Kingdom, is one of the most colorful of it’s kind. The males are a rainbow of colors. The females are mostly grey with a tiny amount of blue on the wings. In fact, the Cantonese term for “mandarin duck” is “yuan-yang”, which means  “Unlikely pair”. At about 1 foot 4 inches to 1 foot 7 inches, this delightful duck is a truly amazing animal!
