Hotel builds $200,000 home for ducks

The Peabody hotel in Memphis says it spent about $200,000 building the Duck Palace, a rooftop domicile for its famous ducks.

The 24-by-12-foot enclosure features granite floors, a large viewing window, a scaled-down replica of the hotel and a swimming fountain adorned with two bronze ducks.

Jason Sensat, the hotel's duck chief, said the birds seem happy in their new home.

"When they're unhappy, they let everybody know," Sensat said.
