The Migratory/Ornamental Waterfowl INFO Thread

thanks for the info. I never know what to trust when you see it both ways

yep, I know what you mean.
Most likely, your supplier didnt know they had been removed from the list, so he just gave them the papers anyway. Never hurts to have them anyway, just no longer needed.
Which for them, to me is logical, they never should have been on it in the first place, not being native. There are several others on there I feel they really need to be remove as well, as they arent native either.

To me, it should only be native species that are in North America, or endangered species, like the Laysan teal and white wing wood duck

Stuff like smew, baer's pochard, gargany teal, falcated teal, baikal teal and all have no business on there if you ask me

I know what you mean. The only Smew I have ever seen in the wild was in Turku & Helsinki, Finland a long ways from us lol

Just got my first split second glimpse of mandarins mating a second ago. and i'm getting more and more anxious for that first egg.

 

[exoticduckluvr]

I've seen mine breed a couple of time now but no eggs yet, also saw the a pr of my 2010 Fulvous splits breeding

They like to practice.

My canvasbacks "practiced" today. But I dont get eggs from anybody till march-april.

 

[exoticduckluvr]

Normally Mid March for me on at least 1 pr of Mandarins. Usually the 2nd pr waited a few weeks. This is first time for 3 pr and all are new blood so it will be wait and see

Our birds get excited to if it gets close to or above freezing with a little sunshine they all start breeding and courting but usually hold off on eggs until March. We even seen a hoodie hen come out of a nest box today.
