Tuile the Turaco - 15 Page PDF

The Lady Ross turaco is a beautifully crested bird who spends most of its time high up in the canopies. Don't be deceived by their 'g,way' call, they really do want to say hello, its just their call. Turaco's are believed to have supernatural powers in some cultures, associating them with luck, wealth and fertility. A truly beautiful bird indeed.
