Learned a new bird: purple-crested turaco. They have pretty colors, nobody knows how to classify them, and the whole outer part of their wings is bright red. In flight, they look like some mythical creature. Very neat bird.

Oh hello

what a handsome bird. I have never seen these fellas before

They're really just chillin out there with purple mohawks huh

Thank you for telling me about them!
