Maaaalllards! https://www.flickr.com/photos/145824323@N05/albums

This is from the same place as i posted before in this thread. There is kinda a dilemma with these ducks - they want them gone and feeding them is not allowed. They put up a sign in the middle of the winter with the message that feeding is not allowed in hope that the ducks would "fly away"...

If im understanding it correctly a female with intersex stops laying eggs (?) Not 100% sure but that is what says on some places on the internet.

Good questions. I found this: "I won't go in to much detail about what intersex means (mainly because I am not competent to do so) but with birds (and presumably many other life-forms) it's basically when a female bird begins to develop male features. I understand that this effects the...

I knew this comment would come lol. But nope he is not. First of all the picture is taken some days ago, and right now there is winter in sweden and that means that the wild birds are not changing feathers. Ducks have their most perfect feathers in the winter and this is not his eclipse...

Intersex mallard. EDIT: He is not eclipsing... First of all the picture is taken some days ago, and right now there is winter in sweden and that means that the wild birds are not changing feathers. Ducks have their most perfect feathers in the winter and this is not his eclipse feathers...

Exactly, i know they can not be proved to be pure and i dont disagree with that. The thing i disagree with is the call duck "shapes" more :)

Yeah, sick how some of people KNOW that their ducks are mix breeds but still sells them as pure. Makes me mad.

Yaay! Fantastic! :D

Malllaaarddsssss (there is a debate about these mallards atm, its forbidden to feed them but most of them are from farms that breed mallards for hunting. We have problem with people buying eggs from mallards from other warmer countries and that messes up how far they move in the winter etc)...

Too "round" in the body to be mallards, so deleted.

Last year they failed, but this year they got 5 cute gooslings! Sadly 2 died, but they other 3 are growing and doing fine! :)

Some of my rare "wild" muscovys. Male, hatched 2015. Mother (right) and her 4 kids.

I finally got a male swan for my female some days ago! :)

Snow geese can be white (common) or blue (more rare) i have blue and white. :)

Thats atleast what ive been told from several people. We don't want snow geese to be wild in sweden, because they tend to mate with greylag and produce fertile gooslings.

Yeah he can fly really good haha. Actually, hybrids with snowgoose and greylag/swangoose are often (maybe always??) fertile and can produce offsprings. I have no plans for him but it would be fun to get more hybrids like him and have a little group ;)

This is "Pipen", he is a hybrid between Snow goose male and Chinese female :)
