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…
