Mandarin ducks are gorgeous arent they My OH would like to have some one day when/if we've got a big walk in aviary. I dont know too much about them, except that they need to be kept in an enclosed aviary type situation not in an open pen. They're pretty expensive too, I've seen them a couple of times in the Quokka for about $250 a pair. Here's some info I found that might be of some interest to you: www.birds.org.au/cgi-bin/articles.pl?Mandarinduck

O cool thanks Cluck, I am building an aviary so thats what got me thinking I might be able to have one. It will be quite large so I was going to put a big pond in it. Does anyone know what other species they will co-exist with?
