What are Oshidori (Mandarin Ducks)?

Mandarin ducks are small waterfowl from the duck family, known for their strikingly beautiful coloration, especially in the males, which have a metallic green crest and fan-shaped feathers.

In Japan, “Mandarin duck couple” (oshidori fuufu) symbolizes a harmonious, loving couple as these ducks are believed to stay together for life.
