Description
The Muscovy Duck - also known as Musky Duck or Barbary Duck - is a large, hardy perching duck that has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years - particularly in North America, where it has been expanding its range in the last decade.
In their natural range of South America, they are often referred to as "Musco ducks" as they eat many mosquitos.
The Muscovy generates a lot of inquiries and comments, more than any other duck (or goose) species. Most people are simply curious about them; some dislike them for their messiness, aggression and odd appearance, while others appreciate them for their intelligence, friendly and trusting personality and their distinctive appearance. For these reason alone, Muscovies are increasingly kept as backyard pets and even exhibition birds.
This Muscovy resides in South Jersey.
I like his red mask....It's your call...Cute or Ugly??????
