Description
Many individuals believe that Muscovies are more of a goose than a duck. For instance, they do not quack. Many people like this trait since they are “quiet†ducks. The males make a “hissing†sound while the females make a sound known as a “pip.â€
Muscovy eggs are delicious and are used in many dishes. Muscovy meat is one of the healthiest meats on the market today, being 98 percent or greater fat-free. Individuals who are required to be on a low-fat diet know that the meat is not only great tasting but very nutritious. And, being so lean, meat from the Muscovy duck is not greasy as is the case with other ducks. Some say that the meat tastes a lot like expensive ham. Others say it is hard to tell from other expensive cuts of meat.
Muscovies have a “crest†on the top of their heads that they can raise at will. During the mating season, a male sill often raise this crest to fend off other males and claim his dominance. He will also raise this crest to impress the females and help to get them in the “mood†for mating. Muscovies communicate with one another by wagging their tails and raising and lowering their heads at one another.
