Why Are People Finding Rubber Ducks on Their Vehicles?

🚗🦆 What the duck is going on?!

If you’ve spotted a random rubber duck on your vehicle—especially if you drive a Jeep—you’re not alone. This quirky trend, known as Duck Duck Jeep or Jeep Ducking, has been making waves among Jeep owners for years.

What Is Jeep Ducking?

Jeep Ducking is a feel-good movement where Jeep drivers leave a rubber duck on another Jeep, often with a note encouraging the recipient to snap a photo, share it on social media, and pass the duck along to another Jeep owner.

How Did It Start?

The trend originated in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to Allison Parliament. After a frightening encounter with a stranger, she placed a rubber duck on a Jeep to bring herself a little joy—and just like that, a movement was born.

Since then, Jeep Ducking has spread across the U.S. and beyond, with entire Facebook groups and online communities dedicated to sharing ducking experiences.

So, next time you find a tiny duck chilling on your Jeep, don’t panic—it’s just another driver spreading some lighthearted fun. 🦆✨
