Duck puzzle

A Bollywood classic, Mera Naam Joker, has a song with tongue twisters for verses, and its chorus is a puzzle involving ducks. It goes — “Teetar ke do aage teetar, teetar ke do peechhe teetar, aage teetar peechhe teetar, bolo kitne teetar?” that roughly translates to — “Two ducks in front of a duck, two ducks behind a duck, a duck in between two ducks, so how many ducks in all?”

This photograph shows the answer! 😉 I saw these ducks while in Florida, and was strongly reminded of this song.
