I have heard that muscovy drakes can be a bit aggressive with other animals.....I don't know from experience. However, I have two female muscovies and they are sweet and mild mannered as can be. They do not quack, but do make an adorable whistling and trilling sound that I love....and that does not carry. Your neighbors will never hear them. They can indeed fly, however, so they need proper confinement or you can clip their wings. My girls roam freely, and although I clipped their wings when I first brought them home I have not done it since. Once they thought of it as their home I guess they have no desire to fly away. I think they are wonderful, personable ducks.
