Violet turaco — size comparison — facts and sources

The violet turaco inhabits forests, riverside woodland and savannas. Strong legs and mobile toes help it grasp branches and travel through the canopy. It usually occurs in pairs or small groups.

It eats fruit, seeds, leaves and insects. Moving between trees and depositing undigested seeds contributes to plant dispersal.
