Origin[]
Lubry Kent Oyl is a member of the Oyl family and the uncle of Castor and Olive Oyl. He is an adventurer who travels the wilds of Africa and the one who discovered and raised Bernice the Whiffle Hen from the egg as, he explains, such a bird cannot be caught, and proceeds to showcase her escaping abilities.
Uncle Lubry goes on to offer Castor one thousand dollars if he is able to kill the hen. Castor fails at every attempt, even as Bernice grows attached to her new master and does not leave him alone, staying with Castor after Uncle Lubry leaves.
