I hope he'll still be around when you move, he is one handsome drake and from what I have read about most of Florida they aren't looked on too kindly there so I hope you can take him with you. I have 4 drakes and each one of them will eat out of my hand and are just so personable. Let me know if he'll eat scrambled eggs, mine won't but they will do a song and dance for mealworms.I "adopted" a wild Muscovy that frequents our Condo complex. Hes very big, I'd say about 2 ft tall or more. He looks very hefty and he has a wonderfully low hiss.
I like to give him treats and every time hes in the area, he walks up my back porch looking into the blinds. He knows I'm here and he's very impatient! He also makes hissing noises between bites, he definitely loves his food!
The picture doesn't do him justice at all. His feathers are creamy white, and his back feathers are a rich Jade green that gradually turn into a blue velvet with a purple shimmer.
He finally eats out of my hand, although hes been avoiding the fresh water bucket I put out for him like the plague! I'm going to be adding scrambled eggs and meal worms into his treats, hes molting and could use some nice protein. If hes still around when we move into a house, I'm so tempted to kidnap him. If hes not, a Muscovy is first on my list. I love this little guy!
