Best Answer

A Mandarin duck eats wild seeds and edible water plants but their meals change as the seasons change depending on availability. The meal includes small insects, snails and small fish. Female and male Mandarin ducks are symbols of everlasting love and marriage for many because these ducks are monogamists.
