Im hearing a lot of downplay on the ducks. Maybe you haven't been attacked by a duck or goose, or some other form of semi-flight bird. Also, there's friggen fifty of them. those bills have the strength to break your finger , they bludgeon with their wings as a diversion tactic, all the while trying to use their clawed webbed set as well.
It's a fight either way, and your choice is yours. But those ducks are a vicious adversary.
