All about Muscovy Drakes

[Miss Lydia]

I love the way Muscovies communicate with each other and us. They get their point across with out saying much at all.

I have 3 muscovy girls an have great communication with 1 of them the other 2 kind of follow her. She does all the communicating. The head bobbing is a mating ritual if there is other sex around including a sort of ritual dancing. My girl does head bobbing to say hello then coos to get my attention and then she points at what she wants and bobs and coos and points some more. Like I said it's only 1 of my girls that has this type of communication the other 2 just Bob and coo at her.
If water dish is empty she dips her head in it coos and looks at me like a puppy waiting for a treat and repeats. There hay is next to coop so she points coos looks at me and repeats. Food same thing. Open door to go out same thing. It's like muscovy sign language. If she hasn't seen me all day when I get home she begins a ritual of I missed you. Includes all 3 girls bobbing, cooing and dancing.if he's looking right up at you and stretching his neck towards you then he is trying to tell you something. Hope this helps I learn more and more from my girl everyday. I named her creeper because I thought she was creepy the way she stared at me and tried to show me things.
