Description: |
Mandarin ducks originate from the inland swamps, lakes and pools of Asia. These colorful birds are most active during both dawn and dusk, and feed on seeds, insects and small fish. These ducks have been celebrated in Japanese and Chinese art for centuries. In China, these birds are a symbol of fidelity and have been given as wedding gifts. |
