21 Most Beautiful Birds In The World (Pics & Video)

Mandarin Duck: The Mandarin Duck is one of the most beautiful birds in the world and is native to the east of Asia. It has since been spread all across the world and can be found in most parts of Asia and Europe. This type of duck is closely related to the American wood duck, which is remarkably the only other duck in the genus Aix. The name of the genus dates back to ancient Greece where Aristotle referred to an unknown diving bird as Aix. In China, the duck has a proverb that refers to couples in love saying two Mandarin ducks playing in the water.
