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? 
Great ducks! Apparently many have escaped domestication and now sometimes hang out with native ducks. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and they are neat looking critters.
ReplyDeletePretty ducks, love the dark green feathers on their backs.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting and informative post. Never knew that there are some ducks that do not quack like the usual ones. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteCool series. Love the 3rd photo, the water looks really clear in this shot. Thanks for visiting my page, or should I thank Michael! Lol
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking duck. A bit bigger than your average Mallard. lol
ReplyDeleteYeah 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?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely ducks,the c0lor is great!
ReplyDeleteThose are really interesting ducks...have never heard of them before. I kind of think they look like something from Alice in Wonderland! Very nice blog, by the way!
ReplyDeleteWow I haven't seen wallaby in my life yet, thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteDress up time for Chelsea
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. My e-mail address is b-29d@hotmail.com. Thank you very much.
