Answer: Gertrude

 While trapped in a feather storage bin, Alec and Lindenbrook could hear, with their ears pressed against a wall, what sounded like a man and a woman in the beginnings of a passionate meeting. They heard the man whisper "Gertrude" and heard kissing. When the unknown man freed them from the bin, he introduced himself and the duck as Hans and Gertrude.

When Alec and Lindenbrook saw that Gertrude was a duck and not a woman, there were laughs galore. Hans really loves his duck.
