east indies
The East Indies is a historical term referring to the islands of Southeast Asia, including what is now Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and sometimes the islands of the Pacific. This region was once extensively colonized by European nations such as the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The term "East Indies" is used to distinguish this region from the West Indies, which refers to the islands in the Caribbean Sea.

East Indies
The East Indies is an ornamental breed of domestic duck. Despite the breed's name, it was not developed in Southeast Asia, but rather in the United States in the 19th century. Sometimes called the Black East Indies, it is best known for its striking appearance: very dark, lustrous green plumage and black bills. Females may sometimes develop white feathers as they age. A bantam breed weighing around 1-2 pounds, East Indies are largely kept by fanciers for exhibition purposes. Being small in size, they are relatively good fliers. Admitted to American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection in 1874, East Indies are popular among breeders. They are generally shyer and quieter than Call Ducks.
