🌍 Hartlaub's Turaco (Tauraco hartlaubi) 

The Hartlaub's Turaco is a striking, medium-sized bird endemic to the montane and sub-montane evergreen forests of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its appearance is characterized by bright green plumage, a glossy blue-black crest, a red orbital ring, and a prominent white "comma" patch in front of the eye, while a flash of crimson is visible in its flight feathers. They are arboreal and frugivorous, moving with great agility through the canopy, and are typically encountered as shy, but very vocal pairs or small family groups that defend a territory with loud, resonant croaking calls. No subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited)

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

Fun fact: Turacos, including Hartlaub's, are the only birds in the world known to have true green and red pigments in their feathers.
