Great Blue Turaco

Also known as Blue Plantain-Eater, Giant Turaco

These spectacular, canopy-dwelling birds travel through the African rainforest in small, noisy family groups, leaping and gliding gracefully from branch to branch. Their resonant, deep-throated chorus of rolling calls often echoes across the forest at dawn and dusk, signaling their presence long before they are spotted. As vital seed dispersers, they feed heavily on wild fruits, swallowing them whole and passing the seeds intact across their vast forest territories.
