He did not appear in Henery Hawk's first short, The Squawkin' Hawk, where we only see Henery's mother. George appeared for the first time in the cartoon Walky Talky Hawky, where he explained to his son how his parents were outcasts for being chickenhawks. He reappeared in You Were Never Duckier, where Henery hunted down Daffy Duck masquerading as a rooster. Here he is very friendly with his son, tucking him into bed and including him in preparations to cook their 'chicken' dinner. This is where George is first named, both with his name on a mailbox, and when Daffy asks for his name.
