The green turaco (Tauraco persa) is native to parts of Central and Western Africa and inhabits savannah and forested areas. Turacos are unique because they are the are the only family of birds (Musophagidae) that produce their own green (turacoverdin) and red (turacin) pigments; both of which contain copper. They are frugivorous and consume fruits and plant materials. They have a lifespan of five to ten years but have been known to live up to 30 in captivity. They are mature at two years and produce two to three eggs and both sexes take it in turns to incubate the eggs for two to three weeks. The green turaco is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List but with a decreasing population trend that is believed to be due to the pet trade.

A beautiful green bird, sadly captive in a bird park, even if it one of the nicer ones. 💔

I asked AI for fun facts about this bird - this was the best they came up with "They drop a lot of food while eating, which helps distribute seeds throughout their environment" Hmm, okay.

A pair of Lady Ross’s turaco (Tauraco rossae) sharing a branch. One in focus and one out of focus in T he foreground slightly obscured by an annoying branch. The one in the foreground is facing the right of frame and the one in focus is facing the left. The birds are mostly a striking saturated dark blue with Royal vibes. Their eyes are surrounded in a yellow mask that masks the beak. The color contrasts drastically with their blue feathers and their read crowns. The background is caging that keeps them secure in an outdoor aviary.
Happy Sunday

A bulky, iridescent bird clad in deep purple, blue, green, and olive washed with pink. It clambers acrobatically through riverine woodland and savanna thickets. In flight it explodes from the canopy with distinctive deep red panels in the wings.

This is a study from about a month ago. Just a Guinea Turaco. I want to do more stuff like this, just haven’t had a chance.
