Why in Asia everyone wears ducks on their heads (7 photos)

You will be surprised, but there are several answers to this strange question! It's really a trend in Asia, especially in the Philippines, to place bright yellow ducks on top of your head. Where did this even come from?





Firstly, it turned out that every country is crazy about ducks in its own way.

It's about the GIANT DUCK



Big ducks in the bays look very bright and funny

In Taiwan, this is done to celebrate the return of the giant rubber duck to the city of Kaohsiung. There, this duck has already become a cult local landmark.

It was launched for the last time about ten years ago, when the Lunar New Year was celebrated. Then the huge duck created a sensation, but then problems, Covid... And now, finally, the duck is with us again.





You see, there’s a whole stand with these ducks on barrels and hairpins

To spread the word throughout the country, Taiwanese wear yellow ducks pinned to the top of their heads. Very nice news, although they all look like servants of some kind of cult of a huge duck hanging menacingly over the shore.

The Philippines has discovered what Kawaii is.

But Filipinos love cartoon and anime characters, so they imitate some anime characters during the holidays. One person tried it, and everyone was terribly touched by such a find.



Not only children wear this on holidays, but everyone

Nowadays there are a lot of duckheads in the crowd at major festivals.

It's a duck riot!

There is a third version - revolutionary. They say this is a secret insignia of Chinese Filipinos. They came from Hong Kong and wear such ducks as a sign of protest against the PRC (China), which is now slowly assimilating Hong Kong.



As they say, find the revolutionary in the photograph

After all, large rubber ducks used to stand in the harbor of Hong Kong, so such a duck is a symbol of that “old” Hong Kong before China came there. But which can never be returned.

Big Chicken Scandal

Philippine influencer Abby Domer Salle (58 thousand followers on TikTok) put... a live chicken on her head to surprise everyone and outdo her in the fashion trend.



Here he is, sleeping, the poor fellow, tired of the noise of the festive streets

Ordinary people wear hairpins made of rubber or plush ducklings, but a girl took to the streets of Manila with a live yellow chicken that was only a few days old.

The people were terribly indignant; after a few hours of walking, the chicken would be tired, thirsty, and hungry. Most likely, he will die at such a tender age from such stress.

So Asia has its own atmosphere. Some people make secret rebel uniforms out of ducks on their heads, others even know how to turn such a cute trend into a scandal.



Just the epitome of cool

But the ducks are simply adorable, there’s no denying that.
