I am a Cairina moschata var. domestica

In Spanish I'm known as "Creole" or sometimes "mute" Duck

Although I'm heavy, I produce a lean, tasty meat,

Wait, I take that back, my meat is EWWW! YUCK!

I am a Muscovy Duck,
My face is kind of frightening.
But I'd bet I'd look real pretty
With makeup and better lighting.

(This one is for my honeybee, it's his favorite bird in the whole wide world. NOT.)
