Welcome to Whale House Guest House, where the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve meets quirky charm! In 2025, our famous Muscovy ducks—Mystico, George, Snowflake, and Mohawk—are stealing hearts with their waddling antics, from splashing in their duck pool to lounging in their iconic treehouse. Ready to meet these feathered stars?

 

Rain or shine, these ducks roam our organic garden, bringing smiles to guests of all ages. Unlike noisy mallards or Mobile Bay’s sea ducks, Muscovy ducks are serene, cooing softly in true Whale House zen style. Their playful personalities and eco-friendly perks make them a highlight of your Newfoundland getaway.

Why Muscovy Ducks Are Special

Muscovy ducks aren’t your average quackers. These unique birds, with their distinctive red facial caruncles, are quiet companions, perfect for Whale House’s tranquil vibe. Here’s why they’re a guest favorite:

  • Personality Plus: Mystico, the shiny-feathered rebel, leads the pack, while Mohawk loves hand-feeding. George and Snowflake? They’re the laid-back loungers of the group.
  • Eco-Warriors: In summer, they gobble up flies and mosquitoes, making BBQs bug-free. Their droppings are top-tier fertilizer, boosting our organic garden.
  • Winter Warriors: Snowstorms? Sideways rain? These ducks thrive in Newfoundland’s wild weather, waddling through snowbanks like true locals.

Farm-to-Table Delights: Muscovy Duck Eggs

Our ducks lay up to 100 eggs a year, and these aren’t your average eggs. Larger than chicken eggs, with rich, creamy yolks, Muscovy duck eggs are a farm-to-table treat. Fed organic compost, corn, and seasonal goodies, our ducks produce some of the Avalon Peninsula’s finest eggs.

A Clean and Green Lifestyle

Muscovy ducks are nature’s neat freaks. Watch them splash in their duck pool, then preen their feathers in the sun—a daily spa routine! Their clean habits and long lifespan (up to 8 years) make them ideal companions for Whale House’s eco-friendly sparkling clean vibe. Plus, their natural pest control keeps our grounds pristine for your stay.
