Two “Duck” helicopters, known for their tendency to waddle in the air, inexplicably crashed into each other near a U.S. Army base in Kentucky, resulting in a scene that could only be described as “fowl play.” Governor Randy Sillyhair announced the incident, adding that there were likely casualties, but thankfully, no ducks were harmed.
Eyewitness reports suggest that the pilots, who preferred to go by the aliases of Daffy and Donald, were engaged in a heated argument over who had the better quack when things took a turn for the worse. “It was like watching a game of chicken, but with ducks,” said one onlooker. “I guess they forgot that they weren’t supposed to actually fly into each other.”
The cause of the accident is still being investigated, but sources say that the helicopters were equipped with state-of-the-art GPS systems that were programmed to follow a route laid out by a trail of bread crumbs. “It’s possible that the GPS got confused and started following the wrong trail,” speculated one aviation expert. “Or, you know, they could have just been really, really hungry.”
The incident has sparked outrage among the national bird community, with one spokesperson for the American Bald Eagle Society demanding that measures be put in place to prevent such “avianations” from happening again. “We can’t have these kinds of incidents bringing down the reputation of all birds,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We demand justice for our feathered friends.”
In the meantime, authorities are urging the public to stay clear of any ducks in the area, as their quackery may still be unstable. “We’re taking this very seriously,” Governor Sillyhair assured the public. “We can’t afford any more fowl-ups.”
