Description
Although we call the muscovy a duck it is technically not a duck. The muscovy is a South American waterfowl that has a body like a duck, behaves like a goose in that it hisses rather than quacks, has a breast like a turkey, and roosters like a chicken. It’s true, the muscovy can be an odd duck when you first see one. The caruncles are the red fleshy parts around the face on muscovy ducks. They're also called a face mask. Caruncles help muscovies keep their feathers clean when they dabble in mud.
