I too had always thought of Gyro as a crane, which is why it initially
took me by surprise when the ad from Gladstone Publishing referred to
him as a chicken.  I can see that now, thinking about his face and
beak, but because he is tall and skinny I never considered that he was
anything other than a crane.  If there were a chicken character in the
Disney universe, I would have thought it would be short and fat, like
the hen Clara Cluck.
