Ok, I'll take the bait...

Free guess: Adm. David Glasgow Farragut?

Thanks! From the list that Jamiet99uk posted (of questionable reliability given that Gerolamo Cardano is described as a "South African Politician and Zulu Tribal Leader Who Was Home Minister of South Africa from 1994 to 2004") it was pretty straightforward to narrow it down by process of eliminatio...

Does he appear on this list?

Yes.

FIVE GUESSES REMAINING.

Nice one, Jamie. I was looking for a similar list but my Google-Fu was not up to the task.

Did this person's views on or methods of practicing medicine put him at odds with the Church?

Free guess: Andreas Vesalius

So we seek a male duck, goose, chicken or turkey (but probably a duck since it's a semi-common household pet) Postscript: The only one of those four that we haven't raised here at my house is goose. I've heard of guard geese. But really, indoors? No, outdoors. "At my house" means "in the coop/barn/...

Free clue: not a fictional duck.

Was this person born after Jan. 1, 1800?

I had never heard of Count Duckula before this round. But, Wikipedia has everything, including a "list of fictional ducks in animation" (!). Yeah, I googled "list of cartoon ducks" and he was on the list (most were Disney characters). I was considering giving the clue of "ketchup" at some point... ...

Guess: Count Duckula. In the halls of Transylvania In the vampire hall of fame, yeah There's not a vampire zanier than DUCKULA He won't bite beast or man 'Cause he's a vegetari-an And things never go to plan for...

Guess: Woody Woodpecker??? The options get slimmer by the hour

An excellent guess, but, no, not Woody Woodpecker. You had a free guess already, so this counts as question 19. One question left.

Woody does not have a mythical/non-mundane aspect to him...

Does this person have an association with a bear?

No, not that I can find. That's 18.

That would seem to me to run into the same oversized duck problem. Is Daffy oversized? Duck Dodgers is bigger than Marvin the Martian, certainly, but Marvin is exceptionally small. Some ducks are really quite large As I posted above , "Daffy Duck is as tall as Elmer Fudd". No real duck (forgive me ...

Free Guess: Darkwing Duck Disney character Not Darkwing. Let's get dangerous Here's something to ponder... Would Duck Dodgers be a character in his own right, or would he be covered by Daffy Duck? Surely Duck Dodgers is a character, played by the actor Daffy Duck, no? So they are separate in the sa...

Guess: Foghorn Leghorn

That feels like a very, very good guess.

...except for the fact that 'ol Foghorn, I say, 'ol Foghorn was portrayed as being a bit bigger that a real rooster.

So it's not him.
Jamie already used his free guess, so that's Q17. Three left.

Yes!

From an animated movie or TV show?

Yes!

I think that's 16 questions. Four left!
