Gyro Gearloose
Encyclopedia : G : GY : GYR : Gyro Gearloose
Gyro Gearloose is a fictional character, an anthropomorphic parrot created by Carl Barks for the Walt Disney company who originally appeared in the comic books as a friend of Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck and anyone who is associated with them. He is the son of Fulton Gearloose.
Gyro is Duckburg's most famous inventor and is a friend of the Junior Woodchucks as well as being good-natured towards others. Even though his inventions don't always work the way he wants them to, his intentions are always good. Gyro is often assisted by his Little Helper (or just "Helper"), who is a small robot with a light bulb for a head.
Some of Gyro's relatives include his father Fulton Gearloose, his grandfather Ratchet Gearloose, and Newton Gearloose, his nephew. In some stories, Gyro's primary rival is Emil Eagle although he is also antagonized by the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell.
In the 1987 animated series DuckTales, Hal Smith supplied Gyro's voice. Among Gyro's noteworthy inventions in the series was the creation of the Gizmo Duck suit, intended to be worn by a security guard for Scrooge McDuck's money bin.
