Crazy ducks...or crazy protagonist? ;)
Italian can be very tricky...in English you can use "quack" as a noun or as a verb, but in Italian "qua" is only the onomatopoeia for the duck call, if you want to say "the duck quacks" or "the quack of the duck", you must use the verb "starnazzare" or the noun "starnazzo".
By the way, the word "qua" is homograph and homophone to one of the words for "here" (you can either use "qua" or "qui"), so if you put "Qua! Qua! Qua!" on Google Translate you obtain "Here! Here! Here!"
Crazy, complicated language, it isn't? ;)

They are so complicated, langauages. It sounds like a similar idea to coin-coin, which is what French ducks say.
I like the idea the ducks are shouting Here! Here! Here! in Italy. Attention seekers!
