yes Cherrey Mae, i'ts from our own wild backyard, but sadly it's widely poached for fun and for meat pushing it to "Vulnerable" status on IUCN
Thanks a lot Leana
I'm from the Philippines and I haven't seen ducks like these. They look beautiful! In what kind of area in Pampanga did you see this? Are they wild?
Very nice Kdon!
