Barci the chicken is the popular mascot character for Nando’s, an international casual dining restaurant that specialises in chicken recipes. He was first brought to life as a costume character in 2011 and has since been employed to promote the brand and restaurants all over the world.
Barci is made from plush black fur all over his body and wings; red fur on his comb; black lycra legs and black fleece webbed feet. He has big domed eyes and a white vinyl beak; his bill is red lycra and he has a lycra sublimation dyed heart Nando’s logo with on on his chest. His tail is lycra sublimation-dyed red with black and white spots around the edge.
