The saying 'like water off a ducks back' comes to mind when I see this.
I've never seen a white one, only one with an orange head I think..

So I'm guessing this duck is leucanistic?
(Basically that's when the colours of an animal are really lightened, so they look almost albino - however - they have coloured eyes.)
Really beautiful colours

Do they? Wikipedia doesn't say that And I can't see the white ones in google, if something doesn't exist in google, it doesn't exist at all. I bet you've just painted that duck
