Turacos are medium-sized birds of Africa. There are a number of species, characterised by their semi-zygodactylous toes and short rounded wings. None are strong fliers, and they prefer to run through the canopy. Diet is predominantly fructivorous, and they have a fondness for bananas, which has earned them the bird Family of Musophagidae (literally: "banana eater"). They also dine on insects and leaves. This fine fellow is Ross's Turaco.
