Is Yuanyang a protected animal?

According to the report of Weather Network, Yuanyang is a protected animal and belongs to the national second-class protected animal. Yuanyang refers to male birds and Yuanyang refers to female birds, so Yuanyang is a compound word. It mainly inhabits mountains, rivers, lakes, ponds, reed marshes and rice fields. Omnivorous Yuanyang is a famous ornamental bird in China, which is regarded as a symbol of love, because people meet Yuanyang in pairs.

Yuanyang is alert by nature, extremely good at hiding, and has strong flying skills. After a full meal, when returning to the habitat, a pair of mandarin ducks often hover over the habitat, and after making sure there is no danger, they gather a large group to rest together. If you find the situation, you will sound an alarm of "Oh, Oh" and flee quickly with your companions.
