From Gary Hill

This is a shot of Micky,ie Gargantua Jr or the Second. When he was in Winter Quarters, I shared the job with Ty Stofflet, taking care of him. We spoon fed him canned veggies every evening for dinner. Micky would clamp his lips and teeth on the spoon and make a game out of feeding time. I would turn my back and ignore him to get him to hand me the spoon back! At first he would throw it at me and hit me in the back of the head and back! Cleaning his cage also required his assistance. He liked to have a scrub pad to rub on the floor while I did all the dirty work.
