Great blue turaco — size comparison — facts and sources
The great blue turaco is the largest turaco. It has a long tail, substantial bill, tall dark crest and predominantly blue and greenish plumage. It inhabits African humid equatorial and gallery forests, travelling mainly through the canopy.
It eats fruit, leaves, shoots and flowers. Ripening trees influence feeding-site choice. It usually lives in pairs or groups maintaining contact through loud calls. While feeding it leaps capably between branches, also using vegetation for cover and rest.
