Dilly

Dilly the Duck (also known as Quackeroo and Donald's Duck) is a small white duck who is the pet of Donald after she was found in his tender cap.

Biography

After Donald teased Duck about his "quacking", Duck's crew got revenge by slipping a small duckling into Donald's tender. When discovered, she became friends with Donald and his crew and eventually settled down at Haultraugh (or Tidmouth Hault), where a small pond was nearby. She was named Dilly by the stationmaster, but she is known to everyone else as Donald's Duck and as Quackeroo by Donald himself.

In an annual story, she disappeared for a few months, what made the stationmaster, porters and engines extremely worried, only to return to the station with her husband and children in town, and getting a "welcome home" party for her arranged by the porters. She often meets Oliver and Duck when passing through.

She has also been seen on several other locations on the television Series, such as the Norramby Fishing Village, The Old Station, Kirk Ronan Road and Hawin Lake, along with the Tower Windmill while riding Donald.
