Barry The Canary Has A Bowl Cut That's Out Of This World

When we think of a bird having a crest, we usually imagine feathers raising like a fan from their heads, like a cockatiel 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.

Gloster canaries aren't seen in the wild. They are the result of selective breeding over decades, though their ancestors did originate from the Canary Islands.

There are two varieties of Gloster canaries: Consorts (smooth heads) and Coronas (crested heads).

It's pretty clear which variety Barry is.

The crest of these little canaries has been called "Beatles-like" and I totally see it.

It definitely gives him a cool dude attitude.

Barry has been on Instagram since 2019, but recently gained fame due to a sweet rainbow photoshoot he posed for.

This is an album cover for a Pink Floyd follow-up: Dark Side of the Birb.

Right now, Barry only has just over 2,000 followers.

Which seems like a travesty for a birb so groovy.

So head on over to his Instagram, @barrybirb, and give him a follow!
