Characters
Bill (voiced by Ian James Corlett) is an anthropomorphic diminutive duck who waddles to a different beat, a very kind-hearted, good-natured fellow who is always there when needed. One of his dreams is to fly. With the help of his friend Dr. Cecil, he tries again and again to fly, and eventually is told that the reason he cannot is because ducks became too terrestrial. Bill's main appearance difference, apart from his smallness, is his bow tie (usually red) which he changes every year at the Ducktown Picnic. Bill lives in an apartment with his pet parrot, Jerry. He has been called a "gator lover" for his rare efforts to turn alligators into allies of Ducktown.
Aldo (voiced by Dave Ward) is a lumbering but kind-hearted alligator from the town of Swampwood. He is Bill's best friend, though he often receives grief from his fellow gators on being a "duck lover". He has a blind uncle named Artie and a younger cousin named Andy. He was once the cook at the bowling ball factory, but transferred to the assembly line after he befriended Bill, as he did not want to cook any more ducks. He also fights his carnivorous instincts so he will not eat ducks.
Bev (voiced by Kathleen Barr) – Owner of the Decoy Cafe, where many ducks go to eat. She is a sweet duck who also has an alias, Madam Bevousky, as whom she offers fortune telling services to the residents of Ducktown. She is also the focus of Bill's romantic interests.
Ed (voiced by Louis Chirillo), Oly (voiced by Phil Hayes), and Waddle (voiced by Jay Brazeau) are three brothers and friends of Bill who live next door to him. These three goofy and lazy freeloaders tend to scheme their way into things and are usually the ones behind some plot or a practical joke, from which they always try to distance themselves when things go awry. Ed wears a tropical shirt and speaks with a New York accent. Oly wears a green beret, has big, soft feathers (as seen in "Fowl Weather Feathers") and speaks with a "beatnik" accent. Waddle is the shortest, fattest, youngest and has a child-like voice.
Cecil (voiced by Ian James Corlett) is Ducktown's only dentist and an inventor. Cecil speaks in a British accent and is always there to offer advice to Bill or the others. Naturally, Aldo is typically his only customer, being the only person in town who actually has teeth. He also provides beak adjustments for the ducks.
Claire is Cecil's wife. She has an appreciation for opera. According to a flyer of the show that was handed out during production, Claire owns a candy shop called the "Jawbreaker Emporium". However, this location was never seen in the show.
Fred (voiced by Phil Hayes) is a melancholic, but sometimes nervously hyper penguin, who migrated from Antarctica to Ducktown, in which he has citizenship. He's somewhat of a loner most of the time, always seen surrounding himself with bags of ice or air conditioning to remain comfortable in the intolerable (to him) heat. He has a duck girlfriend, Dot Cable, and a stylish cousin, Gelata.
Raoul (voiced by Michael Benyaer) is a Spanish-accented crow who tends to be the freeloading troublemaker in Ducktown, and likes trading insults with Bill and mocking Bill's attempts to fly.
Drill Sergeant Duck (voiced by Cathy Weseluck) is a tough police duck who makes it hard for Aldo to come into Ducktown, as she also is the leader of the Duck Defense League, an anti-gator organization, and the Ducktown Scooter Shop and Driver Station.
Other characters that have appeared in the show have been voiced by Dale Wilson, Brian Dobson, Sylvia Zaradic, Chantal Strand, Chiara Zanni, Pauline Newstone, Paul Dobson, Lee Tockar, Garry Chalk, and Scott McNeil.
