I saw this gif yesterday of thousands of ducks storming down the street. Turns out, it’s just a fragment of a two and half minute army of ducks that took to the street in some sort of mass protest.
Here’s the gif -
Here’s the far more impressive video -
Where are they going? Why? What do they want? How can they stopped? Siam Sam! What’s the story here?
I love the woman calmly walking with her kid in the break in the duck flood.
“Endless army of ducks? BFD I got shopping to do”
Once they acquire a taste for severed penis there’s no containing their rampage.
That’s my take on it right there. 
Or maybe they’re anti-red shirts, as that’s kind of a yellow-shirt area.
But those ducks are not in Bangkok. That occurred in Nakhon Pathom province, although it’s not too far from Bangkok.
Further story here. From the link:
**"Most netizens said they liked how the ducks were parading in an organised manner and that motorists were patient with the birds and did not run them over.
“Some said the drivers were probably seng ped, or bored. Seng ped literally means a boring duck in Thai. The slang is often used to express boredom or being fed up with something or someone.”**
Well, that is seriously weird.
Were they perhaps being somehow herded along somehow? I thought the woman and kid in the break in the duck flow might have been shooing them along somehow, but you would think it would take a lot more people.
It’s going to be a while before they rival Pamplona.
Yes, the story I linked to said it was just a farmer getting them to cross the road in search of food.
As a side note, I said this occurred in Nakhon Pathom province. If you’ve ever watched The Killing Fields, then you’ve seen Nakhon Pathom. That’s where they filmed the scene where the American diplomats including one played by Spalding Gray were evacuated. In the background of that scene, the Phra Pathommachedi, the tallest stupa in the world at 127 meters (417 feet), can clearly be glimpsed.
EDIT: Hey, can we get a Mod to fix the spelling of Bangkok in the OP’s title?

Oh, bugger. Sorry about the spelling error! Please, do, fix it! Thanks for your thoughts, Sam.
I wouldn’t have thought a person could move that many ducks around without more guides or beaters. I was hoping they’d finally show the guy behind the exodus.
I thought this, too, but then you can see there’s a whole third battalion of ducks coming up behind them. It was like they knew the route.
I haven’t seen that many duck operations in Thailand. But I have seen some duck herding on Bali, and it doesn’t take many people to herd them. But I’ve not seen anything on that scale before.
Well THANKS for the nightmares, in any case!
I’ve heard of the Million Man March, but a million ducks? Holy crap!

Look at all those ducks there are at least ten
It would be really funny if they were all being followed by a single goose.
I don’t know if I would go as far as to call them revolting. Slightly unpleasant with an attitude, maybe.
Here you go.
Surely it takes divine powers to get that many ducks in a row.
By the way, those ducks are adorable, not revolting. Once plucked and hung by the neck inside a glass box all day long on a street food stall they do, indeed, become quite revolting.
that reminded me of old B&W pictures of ponds near a town where the local store sold fresh duck.
Wasn’t that woman Tippi Hedren?
