It is a punt, but I think all things considered the ducks are lining up.
250 million Indonesian's actually.
The ducks usually sort of spread out across the fields where the rice has recently been harvested, I see them most mornings when I go to buy breakfast. Even when they are commuting along the lanes, to or from the fields, they really do not line up.

The local ducks don't fly, their wings are clipped.
Each day the get to go from the holding shed to the fields for a good bit of dabbling, then they go back to the shed.
Most of their eggs are collected and used for food and eventually the ducks themselves are eaten.
But it seems to be a good life for them while it lasts.
