The Muscovy Ducks

This week on the Stock family blogspot you can learn about the Muscovy duck also know as Cairina moschata. Best known north of the Rio Grande as an exotic domesticated goose sized duck of pond and park, the muscovy is native to to Latin America, where it has had to be far more wary than the park-side variety in order to survive. Their diet is that of an omnivore, taking in much animal matter in the form of small fish and crustaceans as well as some plant/ seeds.

I guess they also eat bread. Mya and I have had fun feeding them and they have stayed around. Such a beautiful animal. Till next time...
