I happened to meet the Mandarin Ducks over the years in the wild area of Ampere Garden,in ponds along the big drainage. And, I'm 100% sure they were not normal Ducks. It was 'inthe wild' and free to fly off whenever it wanted to!
The male mandarin duck is way more colorful, his breast is purple with two vertical whitebars and the flanks ruddy, with two orange “sails” at the back. The female is similar to femaleWood Duck, all dark green brown. Male Mandarin ducks are considered by many to be the mostbeautifully colored of all waterfowl.
In China, the mandarin duck is associated as a Chinese weddings symbol, because itsymbolizes wedded bliss and fidelity. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the MandarinDuck as a metaphor: “Two mandarin ducks playing in water”. Mandarin ducks are alwaysdepicted in a pair – it is said that if the ducks were separated, they would pine for each otherand die of loneliness. Dying of loneliness for love might only be a romantic myth and acheerful reflection of people's attitude to reality.
Anyway, I love these lovely creatures; I wish I could raise one.
