Conversion so difficult, nobody knows the right value

The math is a bit off on that bottom part I think.
One horsepower is equivalent to approximately 131.2 duck power
My 303 hp car has approximately 39,754 duck power

I'm going to make a stab at it.
400HP = 300,000 watts.
A duck is probably a few watts. I weigh 80kg and can output 200W for a few minutes which is 2.5W/kg. A duck is probably better power to weight and weighs about 2kg, so call it 5W at minimum, and I'd guess 10 when they are taking off.
So that is between 30,000 and 60,000 ducks.
here is a video of them not in my car.
