you know I've been looking for videos of them flying but never seem to find them. I live in south Florida so these birds are more than abundant here. They look so majestic in flight, specially the males, you would never think they fly so well, you could even hear their wings. About the diving, I've only seen the females dive, but its nothing like a mallard, they seem to do it only when they get hyper, but its nothing special. These are the nicest ducks, ive even seen females adopt ducklings.
Haha, yes, they do this all the time, mostly the males though. It's a ducks way off saying "Back off!" They swoon their head forward and make a sound similar to hissing.
In this vid they are pretty much screaming at each other XD
I have read muscovies only stay near the edge of ponds or river because their Feather (ARN'T) waterproof :(

They fly but don't dive. They are dabblers, like mallards.

Actually mallards do dive but I don't think Muscovies can dive because they're too big. They're too bouyant.

muscovies can dive, specially the females.
