Observation details
This male Mandarin Duck was displaying toward a female duck which was most likely a Wood Duck. While I was observing it, the male's behaviors included perching side by side with the female, grooming the female, bill dipping, and head throws. It also charged a male Wood Duck running it off. The duck is considered an escapee from a private collection.
