This bird is called Gloster Canary and is identified by its humorous hair shape.
Barry is a Gloster canary bird of the canary family and also has another name, a chrysanthemum-headed canary. Due to its funny appearance and “new face”, this bird suddenly became a social media star with over 2,000 Instagram followers.
Canaries have a beautiful shape and color and have a louder voice than other groups in the canary family. The chrysanthemum canary is native to the Canary Islands, but in reality it is not a bird native to nature. Gloster Canary birds are the result of human breeding and selection over the decades between the Border Canary, Roller Canary and Lesser Canary. Identifying the characteristics of the Gloster Canary bird is their extremely funny “first fruit”.
Gloster Canary is a fairly “small” and very active member of the canary family. Their origins come from the Canary Islands and the Azores. They will never be found in the wild as they are the result of selective breeding between Border Canaries, Roller Canaries and Lesser Canaries.
There are two types of Canarian Gloster birds: the Canarian Consort with a head with inverted claw “hair” and Corona with a “ball head”. They were first known and exhibited in the Crystal Palace exhibition in 1925.
The scientific name for this canary is Serinus canaria domesticus. The female canary has a short voice and a soft song, while the male has a rather resounding song.
Gloster Canaries have an estimated lifespan of 7 to 12 years. These birds are healthy, but they can also have problems with reproduction and incarnation. Most of the illnesses they often contract are the result of poor nutrition.
The “tip” of each chrysanthemum is not the same: some have thick hair, others are sparse. Farmers tend to imitate the sound of house bells or phone rings. A single canary sings more often and also likes to fly from branch to branch.
