Frederiksberg, 1959, a family of ducks waddles into a busy street during rush hour making the policemen stop the traffic for cars and pedestrians, allowing the adorable bird family cross unharmed. This charming moment made the headlines of local newspapers and wooed the hearts of Danes. Hans Bølling, the creator of Duck and Duckling was so enamoured by the story, he brought them to life in the form of wooden figures for everyone to keep on their window-sill.
