we have a woodie that we raised essentially since day 1, once he got older we got him a buddy- we bought him from a “breeder.” Our woodie is super tame but the mandarin is wild (and grown.) we have since noticed the mandarin is loosing chest feathers- he’s missing noticeably more- deeper patch...

it has taken me forever to figure out how to post- for that reason I have a million and one questions. First, here’s some background. We found a baby wood duck back in July- our intentions were to give him to our local wildlife sanctuary but actually heard some terrible things about them from...
