Chinese farmer walks 5,000 ducks to a nearby pond [VIDEO]

The mini migration was timed to avoid rush hour but commuters could not help but get caught up in the parade.

At one point, several scooters were marooned in a sea of brown but the ducks’ feathers remained unruffled – or maybe the riders were just winging it.

Farmer Hong – who was armed with just a (very) long stick and a few assistants – managed to make the journey without losing a single duck en route to the water.

And he boasted that, incredibly, he had not lost a duck in the past six months while making the trip.

He regularly undertakes the perilous journey in the booming coastal city of Taizhou, in China’s Zhejiang province, about 305km (190 miles) south of Shanghai.

Just ponder on that traffic nightmare the next time you find your own feathers being ruffled when you’re stuck in a jam.
