Meet Barry, A Gloster Canary With A Fabulous Bowl Cut (10 Photos)

When we think of a bird having a crest, we usually imagine feathers raising like a fan from their heads, like a cockateel or parrot. But one new viral bird on the block is showing off a very different crest in the form of a groovy bowl cut. Barry is a canary, which is a popular pet, but he's a very special kind of canary.

They are good-natured social creatures that do well when kept in cages or in aviaries. They are timid birds though and should not be housed with parakeets, lovebirds, or other hookbills that tend to be more aggressive birds by nature. Male canaries should be kept in a cage by themselves to ensure quality singing. Males can be territorial and pairing up with two male canaries in a cage can cause fights. In a spacious aviary canaries can generally be housed with other canaries, finches, and other hardbills. All image credit: instagram-barrybirb
