As Anita says, with your duck you just need to try him under different light bulbs in the house. Low energies, halogens and tubes, he should look bluish, even bluish green. Under the old fashioned sort with a filament, the ones they are phasing out, and daylight he should look purple.
If your UV light didn't work and yet came on, then what ever you were testing didn't contain any uranium. You also find UV lights in kid's secret writing sets, security marking kits and in Halfords in oil testing kits for mechanics.
