Paradise ducks are prized game birds and are a great set of ducks to have mounted.

Both the male and female have striking plumage, the male having a black head and barred black body and the female a white head with a chestnut body. The paradise duck usually live as pairs and mate for life.

We have numerous amounts of these birds on all areas of the Haupiri Valley. They graze on grass and weeds so we are not hunting over water all the time.

All hunters will need to purchase a Fish & Game Bird Hunting License prior to any hunting activities and must abide by all applicable Fish & Game hunting regulations. Information about the NZ Fish & Game Game Bird Season, Game Bird License fees and current regulations can be found here .
