Description
Muscovy ducks had been domesticated by various Native American cultures in the Americas when Columbus arrived in the Bahamas. We can differentiate the real domesticated birds from potential wild birds, as these often are pied or white, or not completely black ducks. Domestic Muscovy ducks have far more red in their overly bulbous faces than their Wild Muscovy counterparts who have less flashy, mostly black, facial bumps. Wild Muscovy Ducks are dark-plumaged, wary birds of forested areas. Domestic varieties—heavier, less agile birds with variable plumage—live on farms and in parks in warm climates around the world, where they can be confusing to bird watchers. Taken in the Florida park.
