Muscovy biting

Hello everyone!
Random question of the day! I have two male and two female Muscovy ducks. One of my males (seeming to be the less dominant of the two) is very dependent on me. This one will follow me everywhere and is so happy about it! The only issue is he bites. He's not biting aggeessively but does do it hard enough to pinch and bruise. Most cases he stops once we let him hop up on our shoulder. If I walk away too fast he chases me down and bites the back of my leg. Anyone have a reason as to why he's doing this or better yet how to make it stop? Now that it's warmer and I'm wearing less long length layers it's easier for him to get me! Someone please save my arms and legs! Lol

I have a question @samt40 , which is unrelated to this thread but I just saw the picture you put.

What breed are the ducks in the picture you put? My ducks looks almost identical so I would like to know the breed.

Thank you.
