The female Muscovy Duck I met a few days ago was smaller than the male and her red caruncles on her face were different. She had a strikingly white head and light brownish plumage.
I don't know how the muscovies found their way to the Beau Park but they are comfortable there and aren't going to leave this place.
Muscovy ducks live 10 to 12 years. They build their nests in cavities and hollows of mature trees, 65 feet above the ground. The female is usually very faithful to her single nest side over her lifetime and she defends her nest and cares for the nestlings on her own.
Generally, life is good!
