A canary with a crazy yellow hairdo has been nicknamed Boris Johnson due to his similarity to the new Prime Minister.

The bird was spotted on Saturday by a member of the public and brought into RSPCA's Little Valley Animal Centre in Exeter.

Megan Higgins, RSPCA animal collection officer, said: "The woman spotted the little canary and a budgie flying around the local park and knew they must be lost pets as they both had rings on their legs.
