OUR STORY
The Heart Behind Project Muscovy
Project Muscovy was born out of a deep love and appreciation for these misunderstood birds. What started as a simple fascination grew into a mission—to educate, advocate, and protect Muscovy ducks from the misinformation and mistreatment they often face.
Our founder Patrick Corcoran developed his love for Muscovy ducks through one life-changing moment. One day, a Muscovy hen named Judy walked up with her ducklings, trusting and unafraid, as if she knew she had found someone who would understand her. That moment changed everything. Seeing how she cared for her babies and interacted with such intelligence and warmth sparked a deep admiration for Muscovy ducks and a desire to protect them.
Project Muscovy isn’t just about facts and research—it’s personal. Seeing their gentle nature firsthand, watching them form deep family bonds, and witnessing their resilience in the face of adversity made it impossible to ignore the challenges they endure. Muscovy ducks are kind, intelligent, and deeply connected to those who care for them. They ask for so little, yet give so much.
That is why Project Muscovy exists—to tell their story, fight for their protection, and change how the world sees these incredible birds.
