They are a breed from China, but the proper name is Muscovy... the red isn't on their beaks though, is it? More like around the beak and all over the head for the males. A little red around the beak and eye areas for the females.

Answer 2

ought to it were a a timber duck or sub species of a canadian goose? there's a image at each and each and every of the the lower than web pages. the severe link describes distinct North American Birds i'm leaning in the route of the picture of the timber duck. The timber Duck is between 40 3-51 centimeters in length, with a wingspan of 70-73centimeters. The male timber Duck is fantastically colored. The crown and crest is an iridescent eco-friendly with blue and red makings. 2 white-lined markings enlarge up from the neck to the face. His throat is white. The bill, this is patterned in black, white, and pink, slopes downward. The abdomen is white, eyes are pink, legs and ft are a depressing yellow and his tail is uniquely squared. compared, the female timber Duck is somewhat gray-brown, with a white tear drop formed eye patch and a grey bill. The juvenile woman timber Duck is colored comparable to the adult woman. The juvenile male is colored comparable to the adult male.

Answer 3

I'm wondering if you mean Mandarin ducks (aix galericulata)? The males have very striking black and white markings (although they have other colors as well), and red bills. The females are far less colorful, but also have some black and white markings.

Answer 4

I think you're talking about Wood Ducks, or Mandarin Ducks.

Answer 5

Are they really ducks? Could they be coots? In Louisiana, we call the "poo-doos". They usually hang around where ducks and geese are at also.
