Watch the legendary Peabody Ducks as they walk the red carpet and march to the Duck Palace in the morning at the Peabody Hotel Memphis. 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.® In 1940, Bellman Edward Pembroke, a former circus animal trainer, offered to help with delivering the ducks to the fountain each day and taught them the now-famous Peabody Duck March. Mr. Pembroke became Peabody Duckmaster, serving in that capacity for 50 years until his retirement in 1991. Nearly 90 years after the inaugural march, the ducks still visit the lobby fountain from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. To manage crowds and adhere to social distancing best practices, the Duck March is open only to hotel guests at this time. The ducks' Royal Duck Palace on the Peabody Rooftop is open for visitation from 11AM to 6PM daily, weather permitting. »Links in the description are typically affiliate links that let you help support the channel at no extra cost.
