Muscovies at Home
“What the… YOU SAID THERE WAS BREAD IN HERE, LADY!”
I was able to capture and transport both muscovy drakes to a new forever home together today.
Here’s what was getting these muscovy boys in trouble at the park.
And this:
The two muscovy boys are now away from the park in Mill Creek, WA where they were dumped. That’s also where they were chasing people and being chased by dogs (and vice versa to protect themselves).
Now they are settling in to their new forever home near Duvall, WA. They are in this temporary pen for a day or two so they can learn where “home” is. After that, they will have the run of the property which is well over an acre.
They have fresh food and fresh, clean water and a safe place to live now. They have duck and chicken friends and more. We left them with a 40lb bag of quality duck food and a kiss for good luck.
I’ll post more later. But first… a nap.
Special thanks to the stranger who helped push the shy guy towards me at the park so I could tackle him.

YEAH for Tif!! Pringles was so happy to read you saved these sweet guys.
awesomeness!!!
nice work
Oh, Tif, what a wonderful thing to know they are no longer in danger but in a happy, forever home. That one duck really took care of himself. You’ll have to keep us posted on their future well being.
Congrats!!! Another happy story!!!!
WOOHOO! that is fantastic!! & was fast! I am so glad I went to see them this morning. We fed all the ducks a bunch of cat food. They loved it. I also got to educate a couple passersby, (not geese, both male, domestic, hungry, etc) they were happy to know more about these 2.
you rock!
I’m always amazed at how quickly you can find forever homes for these critters. I can imagine it’s got to be harder than finding homes for dogs and cats. The ducks of Seattle are lucky to have you!
Yeah… the homes don’t always “stick,” so unfortunately these guys are back in limbo. But they’re safer than they were at the park.
