The Gloster is one of the most popular type canaries.
It is a small, roundish, and compact bird; lively and bold.
The Gloster comes in two varieties:
One is the Corona, the bird with a complete circular crest on the head.
It's counterpart is the Consort, which has no crest.
Varieties include: Yellows, Greens, Cinnamons, Fawns, Blues, and Whites;
Clear to Heavy Varigated VarietiesThere are two possible pairings that should be avoided.
One is pairing Dominant-whites with each other; otherwise, ¼ of the young will not be viable and may die in the egg or soon after hatching.
The same applies to the pairing of two crested birds;
a Corona should always be mated with a Consort.
Whether the cock or the hen is crested is immaterial.
