Are adult male muscovy ducks too dangerous to tame?

If you want to turn this into an argument about parrots, start a new thread.
We’re talking about ducks.

Look. If you want to deny the obvious go ahead. But my comparison is still honest !

How does you saying keeping parrots in cages is bad help your argument? I agree with you parrots definitely should not be kept in cages full time, and ducks should not be kept inside. The indoor duck you keep referring to would be much happier outside with other ducks, clearly you really want to do this and you can feel free to ignore everybody's advice, but if you do your duck will just be miserable and live a bad life.

Tell them and NOT me!

YOU'RE the one that keeps shoving the article back here whenever anyone says it's a bad idea

So why is it okay to keep an endangered and fragile bird like a macaw inside a cage inside a home but it is not okay to keep a duck the same way?

People have kept parrots for years. It works. Lots of people have large aviaries where the birds can fly. But parrots are different.
We’re talking about ducks.

But you’re planning to do the same thing. So I am telling you: it’s a terrible, cruel thing to do! Keeping a healthy duck inside alone.

Cruelty? How about farmers who raise and slaughter ducks for human consumption?

Don't post on a public forum if you dont actually want the people's opinions.

I’m sure every parrot owner has a aviary.

Just because other people do things even worse, doesn't give you an excuse to do a bad thing. A bad thing is a bad thing, and now you are knowingly going into it knowing how cruel and terrible it is so if you do decide to do it that is just messed up.

Are we talking about factory farms (which everyone here pretty much seems to feel the same on) or people that raise the birds with plenty of what they need and keep them happy save for one bad day?
