Guinea/Green Turaco Tauraco persa
The Guinea Turaco is native to West Africa. Its crest is plain green, not white-edged as the similar Livingstone's.
The nominal Guinea Turaco, also confusingly called the Green Turaco, has a white line above and below the eye,
as do several other Turacos.
Buffon's Green Turaco Tauraco persa buffoni
The Buffon's subspecies of the Guinea Turaco is the only one of the three subspecies of Green Turaco
with no white line below the eye.
It has a blue-black back end and red wing edges but no white on top of its crest. It is native to west-central Africa.
It has a red bill.
The red wing and the blue-black back and rump. "Buffon" does not refer to the bird's bouffant hairdo but to
the French naturalist Comte de Buffon.
"I had an accident with the hairgel."
Main diet is fruit, especially berries.
