Product Description

Purple-crested lourie

The Purple-crested turaco occurs from Uganda through Tanzania to the eastern half of southern Africa, where it is locally common in closed woodland and coastal forest. It eats almost exclusively fruit, foraging in tree canopies, perching at the end of branches to pick the fruit directly. The nest is built by both sexes, with one collecting sticks and handing them to other, who adds it to the nest. It lays 2-4 eggs, which are incubated by both sexes, for 21-23 days. The chicks leave the nest before they can fly, at about 21 days old, but at about  38 days old, they make they’re first flight.
