My name is Mandarin Duck.As you see, this is a photo of my wife and me. In my society, males are always more colourful and beautiful than females. We are a kind of famous birds in China and also a symbol of lovely merriage between a couple. People think my wife and I always stay together and never split up. We like to play in the lake which is near forests during the daytime. At night, we sleep in the holes on the trees. We are very shy so when we find that people are trying to approch us, we will fly away immediately.
