Thank you so much for your suggestions. Muscovies are such good ducks. Why do people hate them so much? Why? I've been giving fresh food and water to a few of them. I wish I had a farm, to have many more. People call them Nusiance Muscovy ducks. Why are they classified as a pest? The ones I feed are not aggressive, ok. so their droppings, and their tendency to destroy lawns is noticable. It's my house, my lawn and I keep it clean outside for them. I'm lucky, my neighbor's don't complain. As a matter of fact my neighbor told me that the other day he found some swimming in his pool. There was a mama with her 15 ducklings, the babies were drowning and he saved them. I've been living her since 1978, and I never seen so many as lately. When you love animals, it's hard to comprehend how can some humans be so cruel. God bless you!
