Hi Mediyansyah, welcome to Project Noah. You need to separate these two ducks into two spottings so that the correct identities for each can be given. You can do this from the "Edit spotting" link near the top right of the page, delete one picture (plus the blank one), then add it as a new spotting. Regards, Malcolm
Ya.., they bring in ducks from abroad to "decorate" the park in this mountain town. Perhaps.., because the local duck only suitable for consumption. :D
That's what I was wondering; wood ducks are certainly not native to the area in which you spotted it. Both of these ducks, while very different, are gorgeous birds, aren't they?
The first duck appears to be a North American Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) while the second duck is a Madarin Duck (Aix galericulata). These two ducks are fairly closely related and have some of the same behavior, such as being cavity-nesters. Were these captive ducks?

Thanks Gordon. They keep these ducks at a park in the town of Batu in East Java. Maybe the ducks from abroad.
