I'm not happy that Keith Harris has died, but I'm glad that bloody duck has. My sister used to love Orville, had a cuddly toy one, managed to get the voice down to a tee, and had that infernal record that it did. Happily, it met it's end after having a bath in a bottle of lighter fluid before being taken into the garden and introduced to the BBQ lighter, and buried in a shallow grave on my 12th birthday Teddy Ruxpin got similar treatment a few months later.
Don't know about the others, but Emu is still owned by the family of Rod Hull although I have no idea if it is still the original puppet that they used in the 2007 show....
I think Michael Parkinson put a hit out on the Emu .. Emu's now in hiding last seen on an unknown beach wearing dark shades and drinking a pina colada

He was a hereditary peer, so lost his seat. The silly arse.
I was tired when I read that and thought "Mallory Chop?"

In his more adult sets Orville was always asking if he was going to 'spank the monkey' for being rude to him.
