Well I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope you find better protection for your birds.
I saw a wildlife documentary showing the female mandarin duck lay her eggs high up in a tree. And the chicks jumped off when they were 1 day old! So maybe they don't lay eggs on the ground and therefore won't breed if a tree is not available? Just guessing.
No we didnt have an avairy, we had a big pen for them with there own boxes next to a very big pond but still managed to get through the fences, only 2 survived cos they managed to fly up over the fence into the field. and im not really sure actually i doubt unless you hatch them from eggs yourself.
ow wow we bred these in franc on a rare bird farm they cost alot we had very fancy and expensive electric fences and wires to prevent foxes just to wakup and find a minx had got in taken the heads off every single one and left them there :(
He is very beautiful!

Ouch! Wasnt it possible to create an aviary for them?
Also are they easy to tame like common pigeons??
