Violaceous+Turaco



The Turaco; it feeds on fruits, seeds, leaves and flowers, as well as the occasional arthropod. One nice thing about Turacos is that even when they are hand fed and super tame, they still breed often. Generally speaking their colors consist of glossy violet and purple except for their thick red bill, yellow forehead and chestnut crown. Of the 23 species of Turacos, the Violaceous is a comparatively large species, measuring in at over 1.5 ft. and weighing around 12.7 ounces. They feed on a variety of wild and cultivated fruits and are a fairly common bird of the UK.
