After getting its hair did and putting on lipstick, the Great Blue Turaco looks ready to go out for an evening of fine dining. For this bird, this translates to foraging in small groups for flowers, fruits, and leaves. Recent studies revealed that it is more closely related to go-away-birds and plantain-eaters than it is to other species of turacos, though they are all part of the same family of gregarious, non-migratory birds endemic to Africa. This particular species is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest, and at 30 inches in length, it is the largest species of turaco.
