I raise muscovies, and they Love flowers and vegies. Darned birds. But, spraying the flowers with a mix of dish soap in water will make the flowers unpalatable, and it actually kills many pest insects.





Feeding corn to muscovies isn%26#039;t a great idea. If these are Your ducks, and not wild, invest in some game bird feed. With the price of feed corn skyrocketing, it doesn%26#039;t cost much more than the corn, and it%26#039;s WAY better for them. Even scratch grain is better than corn for a muscovy.





Put tomato fence around precious flowers (those wire cones that you get at the garden center) and spray with dish soap in water.





Best of luck.
