Who is leaving tiny ducks around Chelsea? We quacked the case.

WNYC News

For the past year, thousands of tiny duck figurines have invaded the neighborhood of Chelsea.

They come in a variety of colors — blue, green, white or pink. Some even glow in the dark. Other figurines aren’t even ducks, but instead frogs, sharks, unicorns or even an ultra-rare axolotl salamander.

The teensy toys are about the size of nickels and each has a little magnet attached to the base, allowing it to be stuck to any piece of metal on the street – like a wrought iron fence, a light post or a mailbox.
