The long-tailed duck is a slender, upright-walking domestic duck that originally comes from Asia. It is known for its nimble movement on land and its preference for snails and insects - which is why it is often used for natural pest control. Runner ducks are very sociable animals and live in groups. Their different color variations make them a real eye-catcher in the park.
