The lovebird male duck (Aix galericulata) became famous in New York, USA, after appearing in Central Park, BBC reported on November 2. The eye-catching fur quickly helps it gain much love on social networks.

The first video of the young man was shared by the Manhattan Bird Alert bird watching society on Twitter on October 10. According to Manhattan Bird Alert, it usurped the wooden duck to become the "most beautiful duck in the park". Loving children are mistakenly mistaken for purple purple fur, pink beak and orange tail feathers. From then on, its image appeared in more than 19,200 posts with hashtag #MandarinDuck.

These are native animals in East Asia and some parts of Europe.

As native animals in East Asia and some parts of Europe, the lovebirds raise many speculations around its origins. Many ideas focused on the small card attached to the duck's feet and wondered if it was coming out from the local zoo. But the Central Park Zoo, which also houses a pet, confirms the animal swimming in the lake is not their own.

Manhattan Bird Alert thinks that a baby can be a private pet. However, raising ducks for pets is prohibited in New York.
