Feral Muscovy Ducks are found in New Zealand, Australia, and in parts of Europe. Although the Muscovy Duck is a tropical bird, it adapts well to cooler climates, thriving in weather as cold as −12 °C (10 °F) and able to survive even colder conditions. In general, Barbary Duck is the term used for C. moschata in a culinary context.
