| Male black and white Muscovy Duck |
The muscovy come from Latin America such as Mexico to Argentina. They are domteicated there. they were lived at the forest and stay at the tree. but they do not perch the tree since they live with human.
The duck is a big duck. the male weigh up to 3-4 kilogram. The mature male is two times of the mature hen. THe hen is just only 1,25.
My father sid the muscovy is the good defender. They can defend themselves from eagle or raptor. they use its sharpe claw.
