That male is quite flamboyant! Interesting pair.

[Louise]

Muscovy ducks I think. A nice shot.

[Sheila Coates]

We have some in the park here, and when I was told they are muscovy ducks.... I assume that the person who told me didn't make it up!

[AC]

Sure looks like a Muscovy (aka scobie) duck to me.
We have them in Virginia, but they are mean!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

These were taken in the park near you, about 8:55 this morning.
(Bugger, my clock is wrong on my camera)

and thank you all for letting me know they are 'Muscovy', but more importantly, thank you AC for confirming they are Scobie-Birds. I am defiantly going back to get some more shots now...

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Yes these are more goose than duck and ugly little blighters. Thanks to you I now have that dreadful song in my head sung by I can't remember but he is annoying. Lovely bird capture.

Thanks Lucy
@lucypics

[Karin Hirsch]

Nice capture of the geese, I'll have to have a look at the song, since I don't know it

[Maggiemae]

Interesting and very ugly ducks! Perhaps they are eating ducks. ...and yes, my head is ringing with those birdwords,

[Loopy-Lou]

Great shot, ... I agree with Maggiemae very ugly ducks!

[Ann Stenson]

Im singing along here.....Not the best looking birds.....But at least their not Angry birds! ; )

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

So have I - got the earwig of Bird, Bird, Bird . . . Thanks for that Bulldog, but at least it's put paid to the rapping . . ! Yes, Lucy is right, ugly ducks but funny too and they made me laugh!

[Debbie Christoff]

Mascovy ducks! They are like the ugliest ducks on the planet......I grew up calling them scobie ducks. Great shot of something so ugly.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Oh come on girls. no ganging up on them!
I was planning to go back and see if I can get 'that' shot of a ducks arse with my sons waterproof camera and these ducks.

@maggiemae @bizziebeeme @annbo @tishpics @lucypics

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool looking birds. Love your title.

[Ann Stenson]

@bulldog Do it.....We cant wait to see that! ; D

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Nice shot! Yes, Muscovies, there's some on the pond in Chesham park. Their babies are actually quite cute : http://365project.org/dulciknit/other-photos/2011-09-01

[Katia]

now i´ve got an earwurm! :D

[Carol W]

Oh how unkind you all are! I'm sure the Muscovy Ducks' mothers think they are beautiful and so do I. They probably have really nice personalities. So thank you for sharing this with us all, Mr Bulldog. Beautifully shot.

This was at Chesham Alison.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Thank you Carol, they are all horrible arnt they.

@sturnus

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@bulldog Oooh, so it is, I recognise the playground stuff now you mention it. I've met these two then.

[Dawn Reilly]

Greaaaattt...thanks a lot now I have "Bird is the Word" knocking around in my head! :D

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

There were three pairs there. I think they are great.
@dulciknit

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@bulldog Yes, and they're a lot less spooked by humans than the other birds. Oooh, just remembered this : http://365project.org/dulciknit/other-photos/2012-01-23

[Mary Downing Hahn]

They look like the product of an accidental crossbreeding that should not be encouraged.

[Christine]

Good shot.

[Hazel A]

Maybe the underwater shot will show their better side

[Kathryn Marshall]

Good bird shot. The male is quite handsome.

[Michelle]

Great shot! I've never seen a bird like that.

[Paula]

Great capture!

[Myrna O'Hara]

These are weird looking birds. love the song.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

Interesting beautiful feathers

[scooter]

ha ha I will be singing that song for the rest of the night now!! Great shot!

[Danette Thompson]

We both got Muscovys today! I didn't realize they were in other places.

[Amanda F.]

Great shot! I think they are quite attractive! Thanks for the song.

[❀ Lynn]

We had these in our (city) backyard growing up! Dad wanted ducks...so he got these!

Now that's a bit harsh!!

@danette

[Jacqui Paterson]

Lovely shot :) Nice song!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

I think I meant ' earworm'!

[Carly]

cool looking birds :)

[Darren Juden]

There's no escaping this song is there? Family Guy has a lot to answer for!

[Phil]

Ohmyword... I have never heard that song before ever in my life and I never ever want to hear it again - what a racket!! These birds look so tranquil in comparison.... now I need to go and put on a nice cd to get the song out of my head (birdbirdbird birdistheword birdbirdbird....)

[Henri Russell]

I haven't heard that song in ages...now I can't get it out of my head.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Earwig is fine
@tishpics

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Yeah, sorry about that.
@henrir @filsie65

[SKerstin]

Love them sitting on the beautiful expansive carpet of grass.

[Angela]
