    Question for experienced mixed aviary keepers.

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but my mandarins are vicious a-holes. I also saw a video on YouTube where a guy made an aviary the size of of something you would see at a zoo and not long after he released a pair of mandarins, one was drowning a bird that came down to drink. I think whatever you...

    How to improve habitat for wood and mandarin ducks?

    Most vines are toxic to ducks except grapes. But grapes are toxic to dogs. I have them growing over my mandarin enclosure. I wouldn’t even bother with a filter for the pond. I drain mine daily. A pump and filter will get solid waste out. But it will clog the filter fast and it won’t take the...

    Is this a baby wood duck

    I would. I just don’t think it’ll be enough room to add another male mandarin plus a mate for the wood duck

    Is this a baby wood duck

    The top of its head is iridescent green If that means anything. Do females have that too? He could also be a wood duck hybrid. The guy had multiple species in the same pen. Here’s a pic from the CL ad

    Is this a baby wood duck

    I’ll try to get one. He has no interest in me whatsoever. The mandarins are at least inquisitive. I put them in their cage before I was done and the mandarins were pretty chill with me drilling and walking through. I changed the top of the cage at least 3 times. But this is the end result. I...

    African Pygmy geese

    Right now, it’s a 6x20 enclosure. But may make a bigger one. I’m not expecting to get them tomorrow. As far as experience goes, I’ve raised just about anything that breeds in south Louisiana. Currently have some mandarins. But I’m familiar with their requirements. Like i said, I’m not expecting...

    Is this a baby wood duck

    my 4 ducklings are getting big, but one is lagging behind and looks a little different. It has blue on its wings while the other 3 do not. I’m assuming it’s a baby wood duck. I’m sure the other 3 are mandarins which look to be one male and two females. And input on the odd duck?

    Wood Duck Hybrids Pictures including Mallard x Wood Duck

    interesting that wood ducks and mandarin ducks share the same genus but they can’t hybridize but wood ducks can with just about any other species.

    Raising mandarin ducklings

    their enclosure is going to be a part of the garden. It’s not something I can hose out. Is this going to be a problem? I’ve raised ducks before and I know they’re messy. I figured mandarins are small and their waste wouldn’t be a problem in the garden, maybe beneficial as fertilizer.
