Muscovy Duck

Don't know a lot about these little critters as I've never come acoss them before. Apparently Muscovy ducks are quite intelligent, have a fairy good nature, and don't quack, (a blessing some may say), males hiss and the females sort of coo. Just look at those taloned webs, wonder what they use those for?

  1. Great ducks! Apparently many have escaped domestication and now sometimes hang out with native ducks. :)

  10. Yeah Keith apparently it's bred because its a bulky sized bird and tastes a bit like beef, think I'll pass. Btw any news on the catox front?

  11. The cat is not very good. Sleeping at the moment. Not eaten for a couple of days, and very wobbly on her feet. Heartbreaking to see.

    1. Oh my gosh! I used to have two muscovy females, but they flew away. I was devastated because I really loved them. The muscovy in the three pictures looks exactly like one of them that I named cooer. My name is Josh honzay and I live in corvallis Oregon and I would love it If you would reply.
