The Peabody Hotel Ducks in Memphis, Tennessee

You can see a series of pictures in Wikipedia and on the hotel's website. The Peabody Ducks live on the roof of the hotel. Every day they parade down the red caret to music and end up in the hotel fountain for a few hours of the afternoon, until they ceremoniously return.  They have their own little duck hotel on the rooftop.

This has been going on for decades and ducks don't live forever. Pet ducks, depending on specis, can live from five to 10 to 15 years.

So new ducks have to be trained to follow the group
