THE LEGEND OF THE DUCKS HOW DID THE TRADITION OF THE DUCKS IN THE PEABODY FOUNTAIN BEGIN? BACK IN THE 1930'S FRANK SHUTT, GENERAL MANAGER OF THE PEABODY, AND A FRIEND, CHIP BARWICK, RETURNED FROM A WEEKEND HUNTING TRIP TO ARKANSAS. THE MEN HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH TENNESSEE SIPPIN' WHISKEY, AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO PLACE SOME OF THEIR LIVE DUCK DECOYS (IT WAS LEGAL THEN FOR HUNTERS TO USE LIVE DECOYS) IN THE BEAUTIFUL PEABODY FOUNTAIN. THREE SMALL ENGLISH CALL DUCKS WERE SELECTED AS "GUINEA PIGS", AND THE REACTION WAS NOTHING SHORT OF ENTHUSIASTIC. THUS BEGAN A PEABODY TRADITION WHICH WAS TO BECOME INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS. THE ORIGINAL DUCKS HAVE LONG SINCE GONE, BUT AFTER MORE THAN 60 YEARS, THE MARBLE FOUNTAIN IN THE HOTEL LOBBY IS STILL GRACED WITH DUCKS. TODAY, THE MALLARDS ARE RAISED BY A LOCAL FARMER AND FRIEND OF THE HOTEL. THE DUCKS LIVE IN THE FOUNTAIN UNTIL THEY ARE FULL GROWN AND, ON RETIREMENT FROM THEIR PEABODY DUTIES, ARE RETURNED TO THE WILD. THE PEABODY DUCKS MARCH AT 11:00 AM AND 5:00 PM DAILY.
