A Gyro Question?

[Martin S. Thoresen]

There is something that has always bothered me, which can be
summarised in a quick question....
Just what IS Gyro Gearloose's race?
At first, I thought he was a kind of parrot,
but that wouldn't make much sense, as parrots
haven't got white feathers, and we already know
a different parrot, Carioaca.
A goose? Too dissimilar to Gus I would say.
Has it been mentioned in any story at all ?
