What are Musk Ducks?

Dr. Todd :

You're too funny Destin Duck!

This is what my African pygmy geese look like. The male is more colorful. We keep ours inside a greenhouse in a kiddie pool.

Call Ducks of the Geese World?

They are very beautiful!​

They are very cool and out of my league. Thank you for the pictures and information.

Dr. Todd :

They are a wild species of duck in the genus Netta. They are among the smallest of waterfowl, adults could fit in your open hand. They're a bird for specialists, very uncommon in captivity and challenging to keep/breed.

Actually, they're not Netta (that' the narrow-billed pochards....rosy-bill, red-crested, and southern). Pygmy geese are Nettapus.
