The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, USA, is home to the famous ‘Peabody Ducks,’ a tradition that began in 1933. After a hunting trip, the hotel’s general manager placed live duck decoys in the lobby fountain, which delighted guests and led to the ducks becoming permanent residents. Today, these ducks live on the hotel’s rooftop and perform a twice-daily march to and from the Grand Lobby. Visitors can witness this charming spectacle, a unique and enduring part of the hotel’s history.
