Mallard Duck Information and Photos
Mutations:
In captivity, Mallards come in wild-type Grey patterns as well as Snowy, White, Blonde, Blue Fawn and Pastel. Although most of these colors are rare, there is a steady increase in the number of domestic collections containing these varieties.
Hybrids:
Mallards frequently interbreed with the American Black Duck, Northern Pintail and domesticated species, leading to various hybrids. Joel Webster offered the following insight: "Mallard drakes really are not picky and go after other ducks without courtship."
