Jingjiang Duck

Jingjiang Duck

　　The Jingjiang duck has a relatively small head with a slightly raised forehead, resembling the head of a "rice field eel." It has large, expressive eyes with a long strip of white feathering above them, resembling eyebrows. Its neck is slender and flexible, and its body is somewhat elongated with narrow shoulders. The back is straight and tilts slightly backward, gradually widening, while the abdomen is deeply tucked in. The bird is small but sturdy, exhibiting a build typical of egg-laying ducks. The upper beak is bluish-gray, while the lower beak and webbed feet are orange-yellow. Its feathers are tightly packed. Male ducks have emerald-green heads and necks, with dark brown feathers from the neck down to the back and waist, and light gray tail feathers. Female ducks usually have grayish-yellow heads and necks, with backs and waists featuring either yellow feathers with black speckles or brown feathers with black speckles, the former being more common. Compared to 1982, the adult ducks' physical appearance has remained largely unchanged.
