POWERED BY MERLIN
A small green turaco with a red bill that inhabits lowland forests in West and Central Africa. More commonly found in disturbed forests than its yellow-billed relative, the Yellow-billed Turaco. Guinea Turaco has darker blue-purple wings and tail than other species in its range. Advertising call, like that of many turacos, is a raucous series of up to 15 caws that grow louder through time.
