Comment on Muscovy Ducks by Sandie Griffin

I am sick to death of people who would harm or kill this gentle
loving duck, and yet dare to describe themselves as being kind
and compassionate…sorry that is illogical.

Very narrow minded people target these animals and trappers
count on maligning them as a way to increase their profits by
targeting them. I live in a development that had 20 ducks (325
homes), we also have a dozen canals and pond. I’ve lived here
for 14 years and the reason we moved here was because of the ducks. In 14 years, we only had to spray here once for mosquitoes. Muscovy ducks eat 73,000 mosquitoes, mosquito larvae, and slugs, each, annually. They also eat algae, aquatic plants, and dead roots. Once the Muscovy ducks moved into our area, we had no need to spray for mosquitoes, and I live in Florida. Now, someone had a trapper come in and take
them by shooting them with a tranquilizer gun, and all are gone. The mosquitoes are getting really bad, and yes, you who harbor hatred for this duck will say: “Spray!” Yes, pollute the atmosphere, let the sprays seep through the ground, into our wells…there are no consequences for that right? Like most hatred, this is promoted by ignorance and an unwillingness to understand the cohesion of our environment and how we need to coexist in this planet, with the animals.

Muscovy ducks date back to 700 B.C. when so revered by the Incas, only the emperor was allowed to eat them on special occasions. In Egypt, drawings of the Muscovy duck appear on the walls of tombs as warriors, because of their protection of home and hearth. It is only modern man who displays a complete ignorance of the wonderful redeeming features of this duck. Once you come to really know this duck, you can’t help but be aware of how smart, affectionate, and loving they are…mine watch TV! I had never known that much about ducks, even though when my kids were little, I raised all we ate, but had never had ducks. Then these Muscovy ducks lost their mothers and were brought to me as babies and now, like the Incas, I have come to revere them as special. So, protecting this duck from callas, unfeeling, people has become my goal in life. Actually, I feel sorry for those who hate this duck…you don’t know what you are missing! May the almighty take revenge against those who malign and murder one of his best creations, simply out of ignorance!

To ALL THOSE who are “sick and tired” of hearing negative comments about Muskovy Ducks, and to ALL THOSE who are in anyway in a huff and a puff about hearing negative remarks (also known as truth and facts of life, realism; not personal opinions!) wise up and grow up: Me, myself, I and many who convey serious problems with the invasion of Muskovy Ducks, along with Wild Life Officials I have met, see how fond you are of Muskovy Ducks, NOT NATIVE (here we go, more ILLEGALS in The United States of America) to The United States of America, that crap their feces all over yards, walkways, driveways, playground areas in parks which spread their diseased germs filth for Human Beings and Pets, and Human Beings include innocent children. It is on the TV News local and national, OFTEN, the serious and severe problems these literally useless filth mongers a.k.a. muskovy ducks (not worth nor worthy to capitalize the first letter of their waste species) burden people with. The most serious issue being spreading of germs which cause illness and death. In addition is the constant cleaning up day after day and night after night of their filth germ feces. Myself, and I suspect many other VICTIMS of musckovy ducks, am disabled. I have to use a walker or cane to get around. I have to dodge feces droppings every day morning and evening which is very difficult for me and a CONSTANT risk and danger of falling. And I have slipped and fallen in their filthy feces and took on the financial burden of having to wear a Lifeline Alert because of it. And have had to use the Life Alert Line to go to the hospital via ambulance due to the muskovy ducks. And can not let my children play in my yards nor the park playground across the street because of muscovy duck germ droppings. Furthermore, these utterly useless illegal species are aggressive, arrogant, stubborn and will NOT MOVE from street nor driveway when cars come and go and have caused numerous accidents over the decade I have lived where I do in Seminole County FL. Some of you made the absurd comments that muscovy ducks are gentle, friendly, love humans. That would be a laugh if not for a serious matter. Are you people actually insane and stark raving mad?! You are not describing muskovy ducks!! The Wild Life Officers and Officials I know and I know many, have said to me when I ask their opinion of muskovy ducks, that they are a nuisance, aggressive, stubborn, spread filth and germs, are non native to the United States and that they URINATE ALONG WITH AND SAME TIME AS WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR FECES DROPPINGS, WHICH IS ACIDIC!
They also tell me that it is LEGAL for a citizen and resident to KILL the muskovy ducks when the muskovys are on their property!! It is ILLegal however, to kill the ILLegal invaders if not on private property. I despise, loathe, detest, hate the muskovy ducks more than words can express or convey. To me, they are my White Whale and that is a true fact. I now see how Capt. Ahab felt about Moby Dick. Especially Capt Ahab’s last words as he stabbed Moby Dick regarding HATE and HELL!
Here is a logical reasonable and rational question along with Food For Thought; since the muskovy ducks roam free to breed further useless filth in their offspring, roam free in woods and the wilds…..how come they have to intrude onto and into human areas such as parks and private residences?! For those looney people who like muskovy ducks and are under the dillusions that they are gentle, friendly and like humans (they only approach humans stupid enough to feed them and to attack them!) round them all up and keep them confined on and in your private properties! See how much you worship and defend them when you and yours get seriously ill from the germs they spread, the clean up you have to do each day, (perhaps not, perhaps you nuts enjoy filth and germs) You fools feed them in parks, where they are illegal invaders and intruders. Try dealing with them on your own property. By all means, take each and everyone on your own property. You deserve it. Here is a QUESTION: I wonder and have wondered how come all the other breeds of ducks in the parks have not and do not leave the parks to trespass on human private property?! All of my life since age 3, I loved and adore animals and am a lifetime member of the Humane Society of the United States. In my entire lifetime, there is only one being I hate and would love to kill and that is the muskovy duck. Because of their arrogance, aggressiveness , stubborn ways and stupidity, I have seen them get run over many times in the decade I have lived where I do, because they will not budge from driveways nor streets. Dozens of times over 10 years from my front windows, I see them run over by accident and run down on purpose. My friends are all very gentle and decent, compassionate, but they have made no effort to stop when muskovy ducks sit stubborn in driveways and streets. In addition to all the negative true facts about muskovy ducks, they bring out the worst in otherwise kind, compassionate, gentle people! I never ever thought I would be capable to ill a living being, until the muskovy ducks darkened my life and task me and task me like Moby Dick’s Capt. Ahab. The muskovy ducks are literally my white whale. They are here illegally. They have no good attributes at all. They are more ugly inside than outside and that is the epitome of ugly. Absolutely nothing positive about those freaks of nature. So the gloves and all bets are off!

Muscovy ducks, are beautiful, and they need to be treated humanely!

Hearing the recent news of ducks being shot with arrows, I just want to scream!

Take time to observe these animals, and their babies, and just enjoy the nature of it all!

Relocate the ducks, so they can live without being harmed, especially from humans (We are supposed to be the smarter race!)

Ok! Here’s the scoop! We the American public in no matter what shape, form or fashion love animals. We love them so much we increase the population of wildlife 3 to 10 fold in certains areas of the U.S. How? We put up feeders, wildlife feeders, food plots to enhance residential areas or we grow the field crops or duck type grasses to call them to your area, but no matter, we do it to ourselves. How many Billions of dollars do we spend on wildlife food? Yes! Billions and Billions!. So! What if we stop feeding the Wrens, blue Jays and Squirrels and Duckies out there? What will become of our wildlife populations. Well, for one thing, the predators would starve to death or move on to attacking more children. Coyotes, Wild domesticated cats and dogs should shrink. Where in the world did all those Opossums and Raccoons come from? Their everywhere! I’m being told by several hunter friends down in South Florida, the Florida Panther is multiplying by leaps and bounds, due to the Python invasion. Yes, I know the pythons get there share. Who’s culling the Panther’s in secret? The question is, when do we stop the feeding frenzy? Where does it all stop? We should blame ourselves for this buildup of wildlife and not specific populations. Guess what? We don’t! As the world human population grows…so will the enhanced wildlife population. I only see we are the problem and not the animals, yet we open the doors to more hunting and fishing, getting away from the natural way of doing things. Life goes on to help keep the Good Ole Red Blooded America Happy through Economics. Wow! Look at the up side of all this (the big Picture)?

Three years ago, I was brought 3 baby ducks from 3 different
parts of town…their mothers had been killed. Two, a male and a female paired off. The second male was so young, he imprinted to me and thinks he is human. One day, a hawk flew into their fenced in area and ate the chest out of a live duck. the others were in shock and we put a manequin from my former flower shop in their yard and started bringing them in at night to sleep in the pet room. When loose in the house, we diapered them and they became pets, no different than our dogs. Before this, I had no idea how affectionate ducks were.
My one male, would not go outside, until I picked him up and gave him his kiss on the beak and he would be so happy, he shook his tail, just like a dog. They love being held, hugged, and kisses. My female, Luciana,flew up onto the roof,
so we clipped her wings. I never thought Luciano would leave her as he was always step for step behind her, but one day he discovered his wings and flew off into the neighborhood, not knowing how to get back. We went looking for him and oh, he was so happy to see her and ran to us, but seeing the car, got scared and ran off. I last saw him on Christmas day, in a pond next to the grocery store and he ran to me, in response to my throwing kisses and calling his name…but the traffic was heavy and he was scared…so he ran back and then flew off. Everyone who has seen him says he is always alone and looks so sad. Every day we look, but tomorrow we will check two apartment complexes that have ducks and are very protective of the ducks, taking Luciana with us to try, one last time to get him home. While looking for him, we realized all the ducks in our neighborhood, and we had many, had
disappeared. A neighbor tole me she had raised a duck and a man came, waived a paper at her saying he had permission, had shot the duck in her front yard with a tranquilzer gun and drove out of her driveway, with her duck she’d raised for 2 years. In my search, everyone asks me what happened to all the ducks. We have 8 or 10 canals in our neighborhood and those few who are glad the ducks are gone(maybe six out of 200 people) don’t realize that with all the ducks gone, mosquitoes will now become a problem. Most of the people here have lived here 20, 30, or even 40 years…they loved the ducks and we have signs that read: “Wildlife Entering Roadway”, but we no longer have wildlife the man with the gun took them all. One elderly man I asked if he’d seen any ducks, was very upset, saying he thought someone was taking them for local Asian restaurants. If we don’t get Luciano home soon, we will have to give up, the whole situation, knowing how loving he is, has made me ill and Luciana very depressed. I don’t understand the hatred of Moscovy ducks…they have surprised me with how affectionate they are and my imprinted duck follows me, grooms my feet and when I’ve left the house, he hears the car and meets me at the door…so happy to see me. The managers of all the apartment complexes I’ve gone to are stunned at the photos of the ducks, laying on their backs to be diapered, sleeping in a doggy bed with a blanket over them, walking on a leash…they all tell me they will never look at a duck in the same way. I plan to write an article on this, include photos to make people aware…everyone says the same thing: “you must make the public aware of what wonderful pets they can be…I will never look at ducks in the same way”. I hope we find him and bring him home…he is so sad, but so afraid. For my few neighbors who are glad they are gone because they worry about them pooping on their driveway, I want them to know the tradeoff may be mosquitoes and algae clogged canals. If you want to see photos, email me and I will email you photos of these wonderful pets. One thing no one ever mentions is that my Luciana, lays eggs that are twice the size of my hen’s eggs and she is half their size. So, they may be a little poopy for some, but they make wonderful pets, love to ride in the car with me, love my cats, and lay huge eggs! The pluses if you remember they eat 100 to 200 bugs a day, outweigh the negatives! Email me if you want to see photos, at: ladycateyes432000@verizon.net I live in Florida.

We have 12 to 15 Muscovy ducks on our neighborhood pond. They are friendly, and spend most of the day resting in the shade. I have fed many ducks cracked corn from my back door for 2 years. Mother Muscovy ducks make the best mothers I have seen in the animal kingdom. Watching her pass on the skills they will soon need is amazing! I did see one drake peck a persons hand. Someone had been feeding the drake from their hand. That person moved away and the duck still associated hand with food. It was hungry, therefore thought the food would be in the hand that was held out to it. The Muscovies are certainly misunderstood by mis-informed people most of the time. I wish they were amoung the protected species. I wish everyone could spend time with them and other wildlife.
Humans over the years have tried to justify annihilating many species and even races. People who purchase homes on water and yet do not welcome the wildlife that goes with the territory always puzzled me. I wish I had the means to buy property with a pond, or two. I would make it a wildlife haven, for through no fault of their own, need a place to live their approximate 10 years out in peace. A pond or rwo would not offer refuge to a lot of Muscovy ducks, but it would be a start. Please, everyone take time to observe, and learn from the wildlife we have been given. Discarding life just because a minority wants them pushed aside really concerns me. There are thousands of Muscovies. If one now and then mis-behaves, there is a reason for it. And why should the rest pay the consequences? I love Geese also, but they are far more aggresive than a Muscovy. A teacher in our area was just arrested for disorderly conduct. Does that mean we should all go to jail? Keep the Mucovies, they each eat 100 to 200 bugs a day!

I live on a canal and a Muskovy has hatched 8 babies on a roof. She keeps bringing them to the edge and even getting on the ground calling them. Will they survive a 10 foot drop? The surroundings are grass, concrete, and wood patio, she keeps taking them to the edge where the concrete is! I’m wondering if this is natural or if we should get up and get them down for her?

A lot of the time these are transient colonies.. they will usually go away within 48 hrs. if they last more than that they will have to be removed. The answer to the second part of your question is that we do charge for our services..
