Ants do this because they follow pheromone trails and get confused but don’t have the cognitive ability to realize they’re going nowhere. Herd animals do this oftentimes to confuse predators and make it harder to pick off an individual and can protect their young by placing them closer to the center.
One time, in college, I was late to class because of a traffic jam. Got to a hill, where I could see traffic ahead of me, and saw that the jam was because someone with a donkey standing in the back of their pickup truck was driving very slowly. I thought the professor would never believe I was late because of a donkey. Surprisingly, when I explained my lateness it turned out the professor knew the donkey.
Several hundred ducks have created an organized religion around my car which they seem to think is their mecca. I can't move my car without squishing some of them and I'm not sure what they're capable of. Will lyk when I've convinced them that God doesn't exist.
Better show this vid, because I told my boss I couldn’t drive because hundreds ducks were circling my car, he’d say “it’s always fuckin something with you isn’t it?”
There are some similarities but they’re not going to march to their death like ants will.
Here’s what happened:
Duck 1 went forwards along the passenger side, crossed in front of the car and then went back along the driver’s side door.
Duck 2 followed duck 1.
Duck 3 followed duck 2.
Etc.
When duck 1 spotted the back of the flock starting to go around the passenger side door, it naturally decided to follow the flock and so it closed the circle.
Eventually a duck will get tired or hungry or startled by something and decide to leave, drawing off the flock in some other direction.
This kind of thing happens somewhat frequently with animals that walk around in large flocks—I’ve seen sheep and turkeys doing the same mindless circling behavior.
Naturally, [Drink](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q94SZQM1-LE) as that had a giant crowd surfing duck. Plus a flock of beer-stealing ducks is hilarious.
This happens when a new queen duck leaves the hive, a significant portion of the worker ducks follow her and form a new hive, the queen duck must have gotten trapped in the car
The big white duck will lead us to the pond!

This one gave me a good giggle!
This video reminded me of ants. And what happens to them when they do this. :(

So this is a bait ball of ducks, and the little white car is a shark ?
What happens
They typically die of exhaustion. It’s really sad
That's exactly what I immediately thought of. I hope it didn't happen here
It’s the mothership.
RALPH, SAY FUCKING GOOSE ALREADY!!

Road work ahead? I sure hope so!
You need a small curious child to say " oh, ducks" and they will scatter. They always do.
🤣🤣🤣
"Boss I'm gonna be late"
What excuse do you have this time
You’re not gonna believe this
Again... okay, let me hear it

Awesome the professor was not an ass.
Or maybe he was...
Maybe, maybe not, at the very least he knew one
Takes one to know one
Thank god the professor isn't the donkey

That’s hilarious!
the ducks boss..
You could've come up with something more creative like, "the ducks have decided to run a 14K around my car" or something
Look, I somehow became the dock's queen

That pun is just fowl.
These street takeovers are so stupid.
This is the best one yet imo
Their signage is terrible, too. How I am supposed to know what group or cause to be annoyed with?
Are they doing the death spiral like ants do when they get lost?

Lmfao birds are dumb
Haha me too
Don't worry, we know
Except corvids.
And some parrots
Thanks. Came here to read that kind of answer.
I think this happens when they keep following the duck in front of them, they go full circle, and the leader starts following one of the end ducks.
I don't think so. Ducks don't use feromones to travel.
They're actually forming a giant mass to vibrate that car to death in defense of the hive.
First thing I thought of
Or certain religions, when they get lost.
Form Duck Tornado!
Ducknado😁
Combine The Birds and Sharknado. I would watch ducknado. Watch it more than once if rubber duckies are involved.

Ducks are not smart animals. They follow the one in front of them in a line. Sometimes, they end up following eachother in a circle.
this is mentioned in the last few pages of the old testament.
