This bird stood out in his pre-release cohort because of his entertaining feeding style. Big Gulp enjoys eating large bites of partially defrosted food, often gulping down slushy bits of meat. He is 24/7 entertainment- Oh thank heaven for 711!! Since his release in 2015 he has formed a very close friendship with resident dominant male, 566. You rarely see one without the other, and they often cuddle and preen together.
