Trivia

General

• The duck is one of the original birds.

Mandarin Based

• Male mandarin duck has very odd coloring option functions due to how many parts of it need to be colored. This is something seen in Crowned Crane as well.
• Whether by coincidence or not, both Mandarin Duck and Chinese Goose are Chinese versions of their original birds and were added in the same update.
