In the animated version (and the book, IIRC), weren’t they bought from pet shops?  
Haven’t seen the either of the live action versions (not likely to, either).

Then why do they call him “Unca Donald?” (Yes, I watched _Duck Tales_ eons ago, but I still remember that!)

And how are Donald and Scrooge related? Surely they can’t be brothers. Maybe Scrooge is Donald’s great-uncle?

They call him “Unca Donald” for the same reason we call the MPSIMS moderator UncleBeer - that’s how he asked his “nephews” to address him. Or are you saying that UncleBeer’s your uncle?

No way. I wouldn’t let him _in_ my family.

Although he does remind me of my grandfather’s chauffeur.
