The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species found in East Asia. It is medium-sized, at 41â49 cm (16â19 in) long with a 65â75 cm (26â30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix.
Mandarin ducks demand very specific breeding sites preferring to nest near water and, ideally, with the nest box accessed from the water, ie: facing a pond or lake, and raised on a platform a metre or more above ground level, reached by a ramp. secure enclosure is essential to keep the Mandarin ducks in and keep out potential predators such as foxes, hawks, crows, and domestic cats and dogs. Pairs usually are allowed a 2m x 2m pen, preferably with a small pond.
