They are fabulous !!!

Muscovies are what you want if you want piece and quiet. All the other breeds of ducks originate from the Mallard and the females can be quite gobby, quack quacking all the time, mostly during the breeding season. The males rarely quack at all.
But in all fairness Aylesbury type ducks do have more character than Muscovy's. They'll play football with you and games. Muscovies are more laid back.
