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.

Any crested Gloster is referred to as a Corona and those without crests (plainheads) are known as Consorts. Although a Type Canary (bred for their shape and conformation --and not bred for singing) --the Gloster is known to have a beautiful song. Their ability to sing and cute-looking crest has caused them to become very popular in aviculture and the pet trade.
