I think I'd heard this was a thing. This guy showed up on my Bronco this evening. Parking garage in downtown Bellevue, WA. I like the grill logo. What's the story behind the duck?

At least that duck has a Bronco grill.

Leaving a duck is a sign that someone admires your vehicle. It started with the Jeep crowd so many Bronco owners find it offensive because "I do not own a jeep". Just smile.... Someone likes your truck.

I'm a long time Jeep CJ/TJ owner, but did not know about this duck thing until recently. My buddy in Wisconsin keeps finding them on his JK. Apparently we have someone in Canada to thank for the duck invasion, some history courtesy of Readers Digest:

https://www.rd.com/article/jeep-ducks/

The movement now known as Jeep Ducking began in 2020, during the early days of COVID, in Ontario, Canada. After an ugly spat in a gas station parking lot, a Jeep owner named Allison Parliament needed to rely on a friend for a much-needed pit stop to calm down before continuing on the road.

To thank her friend, Parliament bought a bag of rubber duckies and hid them around his house as a joke before heading farther north into Canada to reach her family’s home. Before those ducks were scattered around an unsuspecting friend’s home, however, Parliament put a single yellow duck on a stranger’s Jeep in the store’s parking lot, with a simple, sweet note saying “nice Jeep.”

The owner of that Jeep saw her and laughed then suggested that she post about it on social media. She did, and that was the birth of a movement that now has more than 73,000 fans (and growing) on Facebook. How’s that for an answer to the eternal question, What is community? Parliament’s social media group is now the official Jeep duck account recognized by Jeep itself!

It wouldn’t be a week on B6G without this conversation taking place again.

Jeep ducking did not start in 2020… Fake news.

Like others have said, it's a carryover from the Jeep community. There are thousands of Bronco owners trying to make leaving things like the ducks and other Bronco-specific stuff also a Bronco thing. If you're interested, go look up Buck Buck Bronco on facebook. There are several pages.

Yes and you will probably continue to see it over and over for years to come as more people get their Broncos and are introduced to the community.
