Ducks are on the loose! During rush hour, a group of Call ducks descended on the busy Fengjia Shopping District in Taichung. Passing motorists were startled by the marauders, hitting the breaks to let them pass safely. Some kind drivers even stepped out to usher them to safety.

Four rotund white ducks waddle along the road during the morning rush hour. The leader is seemingly oblivious to where it’s going as the others follow blindly behind. They take up two entire lanes, unbothered, even as vehicles swerve around them honking. Some stop to help them get to safety.

Resident
It’s really dangerous. We don’t know if they were released by someone or the city put them here.

But this isn’t some small rural street, it’s Hanxiang Road in central Taichung’s Fengjia Shopping District. Why are there ducks here? Our reporter later found them at the nearby Wenxiu Park, a mere 50 meters away. They hadn’t gone far, gathered by the side of a pond and are completely unaware they had almost gotten run over just moments before! They appear to be Call ducks, which are frequently kept as pets. Nearby residents said they often see these four hanging around, suggesting they could have been released by someone.

Resident
There were originally five, but only four now. They’re always at that pond.

The Taichung Animal Protection Office said it hasn’t received any official requests to capture or relocate them, and there are no farms located nearby. It vowed to clarify whether they’re pets, as after all, even though they’re cute when waddling by, release them can be dangerous and punishable by a NT$15,000 fine.
