Is it legal to own a mandarin duck in California?

I want a mandarin duck, and don’t know if I am allowed to keep one in california. If I can, where might i buy one? I read many responses on ducks, but those were all on mallards. I haven’t found an answer on if i can own a mandarin duck yet. Answers are greatley appreciated.

    I don’t think so, cuz they’re Asian-native, and US laws in regards to exotic foreign pets tend to be pretty strict… In any case, don’t buy any exotic pets unless you know FOR CERTAIN that you can properly take care of it–and never think it’s gonna be the same as other duck species just cuz they’re ducks either…
