Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Spectacular, green, crested turaco. Shows large crimson wing patches in flight. Found in forest and dense woodland. Acts like a typical turaco, bouncing through the trees and flying occasionally with short bursts of wingbeats and long glides. Call is a gruff, accelerating series of “kow” notes. Similar to Schalow’s and Knysna turacos, but minimal overlap in range. Crest is shorter than that of Schalow’s Turaco and longer than that of Knysna Turaco.
