Sì, è un aquilotto (molto) antropomorfo.

Siamo sicuri di questo? Ogni volta vedo la versione secondo cui è un'aquila a quella secondo cui è un gallo(/pollo).

Anche in questa storia di Barks, come si vede bene in questa vignetta:

???

In tantissimi testi è stato sempre specificato che si trattasse di un aquilotto, dove sarebbe mai scritto che si tratti di un pollo (a parte gli orripilanti Disney Babies )?

I just deliberately invented Gyro as a crazy inventor. I only figured on using him once in a very great while, so I just made him a big awkward looking chicken. If I had known that I was going to have to do a book of Gyro stories, I would have made him about the same size as Donald or Uncle Scrooge, so that he could have been handled more easier. He was this big tall gawky chicken, and it was difficult to work him in the same panels with the ducks.

boh vabbè, mi sa che siam pure OT...

Per la tesi dell'aquila, mi puoi fare esempi su dove viene indicato questo? Non mi viene in mente nessun articolo preciso a parte una volta nella posta di Topolino.

Archimede è un'aquila, punto. E Carl Barks era niubbo.
