This is my Muscovy Waterfowl who came to swim around in the pond, and didn't leave. When it rains and thunders he comes right to my front door and sits. 
I believe he is indentured to me. Nice to have his company, except for the poop on my porch. If you do this, feed them chicken-feed finely ground, in the winter. NOT BREAD. And if you go to the park, don't take a bag of old bread for the ducks.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Muscovy's are, in fact, pushing out many native species of not just ducks, but many waterfowl like herons and egrets. Their wastes carry the psiticosis egg and larvae (swimmers itch). Their agressive nesting habits and friendliness to humans helps them speed their spread. They're considered a pest here in Florida; better to not feed them. Oh...and they are "huntable" and edible.
