Boing! Time for Bed!

There has been great excitement at Duckcentral with the arrival of the fabled Lord Keeper of the Ducks - more simply known as the Duckkeeper. His Lordship has recently come back from one of his mercy missions to Dollarama - the land on the other side of the glassy sea, and before his departure from the Imperial Capital to Eastern parts, he presented Duckfan with the latest in a long line of those poor unfortunate wretches; evacuees from Dollarama.
Seemingly part Zebedee (and part mushroom?), the little peg-billed fellow just loves to please and introduced himself to the Duckfan in terms of his utility -
"Who are you?"
"A fun way to organize notes! To do lists, notes to friends and loved ones... My little clothes pin clip makes it fun!"
Well, aren't I lucky? What's more, he then went on to tell me the same in French -
"Une façon amusante d'organiser les notes! Pour faire des listes, des notes aux amis et personne chères... Mon petite pince épingle à ligne rend tout ça amusant!" (Not exactly Baudelaire, but endearing nevertheless.)
Before I'd had time to realise what he was doing, the little scally had bounced about the blogspace collecting all the dollar-bills he could find, the better to endear himself to me. Dollarama indeed! He simply loves to please and so gives me one more noble reason to be the Duckfan that I am.

Comments:
Are you sure this is a duck?

It looks to me more like some species of gannett.
 
If the Duckkeeper says it's a duck... then who are we to argue?

Really Hilary! OF COURSE IT'S A DUCK.

Let's check with what seem to be the two central criteria for stylised ducks;
yellow face: check
orange bill: check
DUCK!

Longer bills are no disqualification. Poor little fella, he can't help it, he was just made that way. It's called diversity Hilary.
 
dear me! poor little thing indeed!

I humbly accept correction.
