Aug 9, 2014 #1 Kneedles Songster 7 Years Jul 22, 2014 256 111 206 Wellington, New Zealand I recently saw these three birds at a private estate. They were at a stream where there were also many Pekin Ducks and some wild Mallards close by, so can someone please confirm my suspicion that these are hybrids between the two?
