Muscovy ducks have been introduced into urban and suburban areas in Florida where they often occur in high densities. Muscovies can be extremely prolific, and local populations, if uncontrolled, can increase dramatically in a short time. As a result, controversies frequently arise between residents who enjoy the birds and residents who consider them a nuisance.

Muscovies are protected by Florida Statute 828.12 regarding animal cruelty. However, because these birds originated in Florida from domestic stock, they are not considered "wildlife." Therefore, they are not protected by state wildlife laws nor laws set forth by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Similarly, because muscovy ducks are domestic animals, our agency has no jurisdiction or responsibility for becoming involved in resolving these nuisance problems. We consider feral domestic ducks to be undesirable in the wild because of their potential to transmit diseases to or interbreed with Florida's native waterfowl. To minimize these problems, Florida Statute 372.265 prohibits the release of exotic animals, including muscovies. Therefore, relocating muscovies into a wild situation is not a legitimate or appropriate solution to nuisance problems. You could, however, move muscovies to a captive situation where they would not come into contact with wildlife and would not escape.

Muscovy ducks, like other domestic animals, are considered private property. If someone claims ownership, the birds are the owner's to do with as he or she pleases, so long as Florida Statute 828.12 regarding animal cruelty is not violated. Similarly, if the muscovies have no owner, no state or federal law prohibits their capture and humane euthanization. This can be a last resort to resolve a nuisance problem.

Ask you psychiastrist to up your Xanex dosage. You're a nut job.

Muscovies as a food source in these troubling finacial days. Food for homeless. Has anyone out there eaten one? What do they taste like?

I have studied this and can tell you all the data on Google suggests they are Delicious and very high quality duck meat, prized as food for royalty in many countries, these ducks are raised on Farms in California for high end resturaunts, I saw the diagram on google how to remove the breast meat (the most meat) inn about
fifteen minutes from a fresh killed duck. The Breast fillets are 2x as large as any other duck! High protien and leaner than any other duck, Put them in Mah BELLY!

Don't look at me, I had nuttin' to do wif it...

They taste just like chicken.

I would be happy to feed the homeless with Muscovy Duck and happily chomp down on it myself while I did, Ducks and iguanas are delicious, and non native, they are here for us to enjoy, with SAUCE, and Ice cold Beer!

Some needs to give the archer lessons. There is no excuse for two tapping a Muscvoy.

I thought the county had people that were finding Muscovy nests and destroying their eggs as a way of controlling their population. That's probably a more humane way to get rid of them. They really are gross, raiding trash cans and pooping everywhere. Yuk.

A breed apart
Originating in the warm climates of South America, the Muscovy duck is a breed apart from the rest. It is by far the leanest domesticated duck breed. Long the favorite of Europeans, Muscovy is now becoming the duck of choice here in the United States.

OK, read it and weep! Why not serve tis in every homeless shelter in Broward, God, my mouth is watering just THINKING about it, is it lunch yet?

LMAO!

liberal and so called animal lovers are such bleeding hearts. they love the animal until it shits in their yard,garage or causes them any inconvience. the not in my back yard should be on every environmental or animal lovers driver license lol

All animals have the right to live. We are the ones invading their habitat. At the very least trap them and release them in another area. I have taken care of sick and abandoned animals and get a nice feeling when they are returned to their natural habitat.

U r not allowed to catch them and release them defender!! U literally post without reading a single message on the board. These ducks are a serious problem. My girl got in a car accident swerving not to hit one. Every day I have to wash the crap off my driveway. Wish there was a legal and convenient way to get rid of em. I don't have time to trap em and take em to an executioner. I do have time to break out a bow and arrow tho. Poor guy is gonna go to jail or get fined for doing a public service.::outraged::
