Today's birds are these muscovy ducks and their ducklings!

thing I like about florida: sometimes when you’re flipping rocks and digging for bugs some feral poultry will approach you and sort of look at you like hail, standing-ape. spare a worm for a bipedal comrade? and then I have to go find a worm or roach for them and they follow me around for a while and forage for bugs with me and when I pack up to go they sort of get it like many thanks for the morsel. may your crop stay full, plumeless one

peacock was picky and refused worms, had to offer him a scarab grub. posh chicken

(Carina moschata domestic form, Pavo cristatus)

This duck is UNREAL in person, the feathers over his wings (the upper and lower scapular feathers) are iridescent and shine with purple! Absolutely gorgeous boy, if I was into keeping ducks I would steal him in a heartbeat. He belongs to my neighbors, so at least I get to visit him whenever I want and he's super friendly!

Strange Looking Bird

This muscovy duck looks like black paint is peeling from his bill.
