Canary Roler history
The Gloster Canary is a relatively new canary being developed in England in 1925. In the beginning they were merely regarded as smaller version of the Crested Canary. Mrs. Rogerson of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire was the first to exhibit these special birds. At the Crystal Palace exhibition in 1925, judge A.W. Smith agreed they were indeed a unique and distinct breed. He even develop the first breed standard for the Gloster Canary. Research indicates that the Gloster Canary is the result of careful breeding between the crested Rollar Canary, small sized crests and the Border Canary.
