Mandarin is not just orange citrus fruit, but also a species of bird whose feathers have a characteristic beautiful color. The Mandarin comes from Asia. It is most popular in China and Japan, nevertheless, it is also grown in Europe as a decorative bird. The Mandarin males are eye-catching due to their vivid colors: red bill, black-white-red head and orange feathers at the ends of the wings. Females are gray-brown and their appearance is much more modest. Mandarins mate for life and for that reason the couple of ducks is a Chinese symbol of fidelity.
