The adult male is a striking and unmistakable bird. In full plumage, the male Mandarin is the most beautiful of all ducks. Mandarins are found in Asia. They mate for life and are symbolic of marital stability and happiness. When they find a partner, they will stick with that same partner for the rest of their lives. It is said that if they are ever separated, they will pine for each other and will soon die of loneliness.This strong love and fidelity has credited mandarin ducks with relationship healing properties, especially in Eastern cultures like China and Japan. In Feng Shui, having mandarin duck figurines in your home is bound to enhance your love life.
The Mandarin, is a perching duck that Asia introduced widely as an ornamental bird. The Chinese refer the Mandarin Duck as Yuang-yang in oriental art and is well known and regarded as a symbol of affection and fidelity. Chinese couples in love uses the Mandarin bird as a metaphor: "Two mandarin ducks playing in the water".
Mandarin ducks breed in densely wooded areas near shallow lakes, marshes or ponds. They roost high in trees and nest in tree hollows found near bodies of water in eastern Siberia in Russia, China, and Japan. During the winter, they migrate to southern China and Japan.
