The, the, the... the grinch? Not exactly: This fuzzy green bird is Schalow's Turaco (Tauraco schalowi)! This colorful, vocal species inhabits parts of south-central Africa, including Angola, Namibia, and Zambia. It finds its home in evergreen forests or woodlands, where it feeds on a diet of fruit. Males and females are similar in appearance, with bright green-yellow plumage and tall crests. Photo: lesbectrotters, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

"The image shows a Schalow's Turaco, a bird with vibrant green plumage and a distinctive crest on its head. The bird has a red beak and red eye-rings, which stand out against its green feathers. It is perched on a wooden branch that is tied with a rope, and there is a metal feeding dish attached to another branch nearby. The background is lush with green foliage, creating a natural habitat-like setting for the bird. The image is signed with "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot

I saw this bird at the Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport. I believe they are native to Central Africa. 1/?
