Why can't my muscovies fly?

[ruthhope]

How do they even survive in the wild if they can't fly??

Feral muscovies have a high death toll. However, many are wily birds and walk from door to door in suburban neighborhoods expecting to be given food. Its like the muscovy version of trick or treat except if a person feeds the muscovy they are likely to get duck poop in the garden!!! Muscovy often congregate on retention ponds. They do Ok on the ponds unless the pond owner decides to cull them becuase they don't like muscovy or their poop

Thank you, There aren't any wild muscovies in sweden so I'm not really informed on any of this
