Seeing DUKW's and Duckmen in various threads, this seemed right and proper.
Complete quackery! 🦆
We tried something similar with the chickens in the veg garden. It... did not go well for the veg!

A couple of years ago there was a bad locust swarm in large parts of SE US where I'm at. A local bird sanctuary came out to the feilds and released a ton of birds who immediately had lunch, dinner, and leftovers.
I'm sure I saw a 'news clip'.....years ago, where Chinese (??) farmers used oodles of ducks, to try and 'decimate' locust swarms.
Don't think it could have been that successful.
Anyone else remember that ?

I dunno....I DO remember weird snippets of information, Nobby.

Anyone remember the advert:
Captain! Duck!
It's Drake, you fool!
Decimation against a locust swarm wouldn't get you very far.
It would teach them a d--n good lesson, however.
Not sure they would care!
