    Default Duck Herding?

    http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/435174/

    What? Do people herd ducks in some places of the world? Because that is SO cool.
    But mark me well; Religion is my name;
    An angel once: but now a fury grown,
    Too often talked of, but too little known.

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    I have heart about geese herding. The goose girl and the swineherd were professions in the days before industrial agriculture.

    Their wings are clipped so they can't fly away. Without being able to fly to safety, they instinctively stick close together for protection. Although I've never tried it, if you know how to handle them it's probably not that hard to herd ducks. Dogs can do it - check youtube - and with large flocks is probably even easier.
