This listing is for 1 pair (1 male 1 female) of Blue Northern Pintails. We do not fully understand the genetics behind this color, but we believe that it works much like the apricot color in wood ducks. At this time the blue color mutation in the Northern Pintail is rare. We only raise a handful of these birds every year. Care is the same as for the regular colored bird.

If you have any questions please email us with them @ mallardlanefarms@gmail.com before completing your order. In our experience if left full-winged on open water, most wild ducks will eventually fly away. If you choose to keep wild ducks on open water we recommend having those birds pinioned. Pinioned birds have been made permanently flightless by the surgical removal part of one wing.
If you would like your birds pinioned please choose the pinion option above. If the pinion option is unavailable you can use the "pinion my bird" listing instead.
Terms and conditions for pinioned birds
Pinioned birds will require time to heal before shipping. This is can take 1-3 weeks. You will receive an email within 72 hrs of check out with your shipping date. All birds on your order will ship together on the date in this email. If you would like any birds shipped separately on a different date please e-mail us at mallardlanefarms@gmail.com with this request. (Additional shipping charges may apply). We reserve the right to delay shipping if we feel the birds need longer to heal than originally estimated. Delays are normally 1 week or less.
Once the birds are pinioned, that portion of your order can not be changed or cancelled. For most orders birds will be pinioned within a few hrs of the order being placed. Price of the birds and pinion fees will not be refunded should customer want to cancel the order. If there is ever an issue on our end in providing the birds full a refund would be given.
