Carolina Waterfowl Rescue has a
large number of recent, legally
rescued Muscovy in desperate need
of homes!
Neither Muscovy Duck Central, nor the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue condones the theft
of personal property under any circumstance; nor is MDC or the Carolina Waterfowl
Rescue Organization associated with Austin Corley and his alleged theft of ducks and
geese in southern Florida!
Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is a federally licensed migratory bird rehabilitation facility that
rescues and rehabilitates injured, unwanted, and feral waterfowl.  Working with a network of
volunteers and Avian Veterinarians they insure that these birds get the care and attention they need
while trying to place domestics in good homes or returning wild birds to their natural habitat.  

Currently the Rescue is working on saving a large population of feral Muscovy from a city that in
the past has rounded them up and killed them.  In an agreement with the city, Carolina Waterfowl
Rescue is attempting to reduce an unmanageable number of birds in local neighborhoods and are
expecting to have approximately 300 birds enter their facility as they're caught and removed from
the various neighborhoods where the birds currently reside.  These birds are going to need good
homes where they can be well cared for and enjoy the remainder of their days.
Birds adopted from Carolina Waterfowl Rescue are not allowed to be eaten or otherwise killed nor
are they allowed to be bred for the production of table-fare birds.  They can be used as insect
control, yard ornaments, egg layers for table fare eggs, or for personal enjoyment.  Individuals
interested in adopting must have property adequate to house & shelter the adopted Muscovy that
will prevent them from returning to their current feral state and adopters must maintain 'ownership'
of the birds and be able to provide for their care.  They cannot be released back into a public
neighborhood or pond to return to a feral state.  Ownership can be transferred to another
individual provided that they, too, have adequate property/facilities to own the birds.
All birds rescued by Carolina
Waterfowl Rescue are captured,
managed, and maintained
humanely with utmost care for
their well-being!
Thanks to the donations of a number of organizations and individuals the standard adoption fee is
being waved but donations would be greatly appreciated as the monetary needs of a Rescue are
never-ending.

A Muscovy Owners Call to Action!!!
The Fish & Wildlife Service has recently taken upon itself to make criminals out of millions of Americans
by creating regulation that dictates how owners manage their domestic Muscovy.  I encourage all Muscovy
owners to contact their state representatives and protest this move.  Domestic Muscovy are NOT migratory
birds and should not be treated as such nor should they be regulated by the Fish and Wildlife Service.  
Feral Muscovy are a problem in but a few out of the 50 states and can be managed WITHOUT violating
our rights as Americans!  

I encourage EVERYONE to Email George T. Allen with the Fish and Wildlife Service at:
george_t_allen@fws.gov and let him know that this regulation is unacceptable & that you will be contacting
your representatives.  I encourage people to Email him today, then go ahead and Email him tomorrow and
don't forget to Email him next week.  He needs to feel the impact this regulation will have on millions of
Americans.
