I have a pond with Mallards and Muscovies on it. I have ordered some
cylinder type nest for the mallards. Does anyone have experience with these?

I have read that muscovy ducks would nest in hollow trees or in elevated
nest boxes. Has anyone used nest boxes placed in trees or on poles?
What dimensions would be best for the muscovies? What size hole would you
use? Would it need some sort of perch or landing? Any good plans out here?
Thanks.
