[edit] Distribution map
Whoever out there is doing distribution maps: can you revisit this one? For sure, the species is in the east of England—some friends and I saw 26 recently, including one albino drake—GRM 22:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
ENGLAND
Don't forget us in England. I live in South Yorkshire in the North of England and we have three pairs of Mandarin Ducks in our Garden, on the River Sheaf. They come and go all day and attack the Mallards. Each Summer we have the babies come to visit and they come and knock on the french windows for food. In late summer the babies join up and are like Teenagers in their behaviour
[edit] Endangered?
The species was once widespread in eastern Asia, but it is now endangered despite being evaluated as Least Concern because of large-scale exports and the destruction of its forest habitat.
What? This doesn't make any sense. If it's endangered why is it labeled least concern? If it's not of concern, why are we saying it's really endangered? What's going on? john k (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
