When I was a child, Yuanyang was divided into male and female. How come?

You can usually tell the sex of a mandarin duck just by looking at its appearance. Male birds are gorgeous in appearance, while female birds have relatively dull feathers.

Yuanyang looks like a wild duck and is smaller. Flat mouth, long neck, webbed toes, good at swimming. Male feathers are gorgeous, with copper, red, purple and green crests behind his head; Red mouth and yellow feet. The female is slightly smaller than the male, with hazel feathers and a gray-black mouth.
