These "mallard ducks" sure look more like Canadia nGeese. Mallards have a green head and small white ring.

Yes but I couldn’t here any “EH” or “Aboot” so it would be hard to discern!These "mallard ducks" sure look more like Canadia nGeese. Mallards have a green head and small white ring.
I respectfully disagree. I've closely examined the four birds and produced a number of screen captures. The video is somewhat underexposed, perhaps slightly out of focus and the birds are at some distance but you can clearly see the white patch on the "cheeks" of the head with the black forehead/beak and definitely don't have green heads with yellow beaks. Here's a screen capture from around 1:10:They are called Canada Geese, despite the fact that a lot of people incorrectly call them Canadian Geese.
However, the four birds being followed on the water are clearly ducks and not geese. Look at the necks on those ducks, a goose has a much, much longer neck, so no Canada geese filmed in this video. One further point, it is incorrect to use an apostrophe in one of your titles, where by you stated "Male's". The word should be Males and not Male's, as you have it.

Compare this screen capture I took from the video with the two photos submitted yesterday to this thread by Dale D. showing a Canada Goose and a mallard. I submit that the birds in the video are more likely geese than ducks. If you closely watch the video you occasionally observe that one of the birds will stretch it's neck out thereby taking on the more familiar appearance of a goose.
