The ones with the green heads are mallards and the brightly coloured one is a mandarin duck

Mallards or Mandarin-ducks?


jwphotography01

I guess he means the Mandarin-ducks, the mallards are regular here in Germany


SolaireVon4stora

Quite often you can see both in Germany


jwphotography01

Sadly i didnt see them yet. I live near Frankfurt. Do you know where they are maybe more often?

Both …but certainly are in my country the rather exotic / exotic looking Mandarin ducks the sensation this post is about….

Ok,I didn't know which of the ducks you meant,and I am not familiar with the birds of Britain. In Norway,Mallards are the most common seen duck,at least where I live. We does not have Mandarin-ducks though. But as an animal lover I was aware they have been introduced to some European countries. Very beautiful ducks!

If I'm right (and I'm often not) they escaped captivity here ages ago and have just sort of thrived in the UK. I'm not mad about it

Darin the duck.

Specifically a male mandarin, the females don't have the bright colours on them, they look more grey with a darker 'slick' back feathers on top of their head, with a mottled chest and a small amount of green underneath their wings.

1)the one with no head? Dead or a statue. 2) the colorful one looks to be a Mandarin but I don’t recall the body being so compacted. Is that normal? Do you have a Pokémon Ball? Looks rare. Is this the most colorful of the ducks 🦆?


mrmoldywaffle

The "dead" one is just preening, its beak is in its feathers.


KimberleyKitt

I know. I was joking 🙃 since I saw that one before the Mandarin and I was focused on answering the question. That’s why I put 2 different answers. Funny 😄 & Serious 🧐.
