Two Muscovy Drakes Need Home
This handsome muscovy drake and his shy buddy are both looking for a good, safe forever home.
Here’s shy guy. Together, they are hanging out at a public park, where they don’t belong.
They are both very, tame. In fact, too tame. It is my guess that these two were hand-raised by someone who hatched muscovies and ended up with too many males. So they dumped them at this park in Mill Creek, WA.
Unfortunately, because they’re so tame, they walk right up to people and bite them to ask for food.
Someone has posted signs that misidentify them as aggressive nesting geese. We’re glad the signs are there though, as they help keep people from messing with the ducks and letting their dogs chase the ducks.
I gave both boys a hard time about the sign. Not only are they not geese, they’re also both male so they’re not nesting. They appear aggressive because they’re hungry and looking for handouts.
They walk right up to people on the trail and bite them. This guy in the purple shirt got bit.
Do you have room in your heart and your home for these two friendly boys?
I wish I could have brought them home with me, but we’re all full here at Flapper’s house, and there’s no where safe to put them. I’m very worried about them being at the park for very long, because they chase dogs and climb on people. A dog is certain to bite them before long, if a person doesn’t kick or injure them first.
Please cross post this to any lists near Seattle, WA and note that I’m willing to drive them up to 3-hours away. People can contact me through Flapper’s website here, at http://www.mrflapper.com/blog.
Stay safe, muscovy boys. I’m working on a good home for you as fast as I can.

Pringles says they can come here if you want. JUst hitch them a ride on the pet airways : )
With all of the animal rescues, SPCAs, humane societies, etc. it just floors me that people will still dump animals they don’t want. And this is animal cruelty/neglect as far as I’m concerned because domesticated animals can’t fend for themselves in the wild.
I hope they find a good home very soon!
This is a good post about a sad situation. I won’t ramble on about people who dump ducks, you know how I feel.
I’m happy you found a good home for them so quickly:-) I hope they will let you catch them (hope they are still safe) and wish them a happy life!
Woah, that was a speedy rescue, I tell ya!:-)
as i said… people are just stupid … thank goodness for the rescuers of the world!
Pringles was dumped too : ( the SPCA and Humane Societies dont care about ducks and geese. At least the ones near Pringles doesnt. Pringles is loved now though.
