Chortle Chook Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Mandarin ducks - WOW that is special! Don't forget those pictures. Will they become tame? (I love the name Squeak for a Call Duck drake because that is really all they manage ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 No you will never tame a mandarin I might one day get in the aviary without them freaking and the name squeak is because his brother was bubble I am trying to find him a nice new home with his own girls as mork and mindy don't seem impressed with him anymore leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I've been wondering how your Mandarin ducks are. If you send me a picture I'll post it for you. I found an article about Mandarin ducks in Fancy Fowl June issue and they look so lovely but even as babies are apparently completely wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Here everyone are Leanne's lovely Mandarin ducks. I'm so but I know from the Fancy Fowl article that I'd never be able to keep these charming wild beings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
