<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is always a joy to see a pair of mandarin ducks in Berlin. Whilst there is a misconception that they mate for life, they&#8217;re actually &#8216;seasonal monogamists&#8217;. The male is in the foreground, and is easily recognisable for the excellent plumage. Whilst the female doesn&#8217;t jump out as much from a colour perspective, <a href="https://leonard.earth/2023/08/16/demure-beauty/">I think female Mandarin ducks are quite special too</a>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once they decide to get together, they stay together for the breeding season, but then go their separate ways. The lifelong partnership misconception comes from them being considered as symbols of devotion in Chinese culture.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I find it amazing how, outside of eastern Asian, they&#8217;re extremely limited in distribution, effectively existing only in Berlin and not any of the rest of the country!</p>
