It is inevitable that the ducks will be super strong when they are on duty for many days."

In response to this, many people said, "Yellow duck, thank you for your hard work! The hard work is great." "The duck is about to call it a day and get ready to get off work." "It must be so hot that it is melting." "It must be so busy that it has lost weight." "The duck needs to really work." 'Cheer up'."
The Kaohsiung City Tourism Bureau responded that the duckling was directly exposed to wind because it was located at the seaport, causing the anchor to shift and affecting the duckling's electrical equipment. The staff is currently conducting relevant testing operations to restore the relevant devices and the duck's super cute image as soon as possible. The Tourism Bureau also called for "force majeure, 'duck' force is overwhelming". To ensure the safety of on-site operations and tourists, surrounding ships are asked to keep a distance for safety reasons.
