The red-crested turaco (Tauraco erythrolophus) is
a turaco, a group of African near-passerines. It is a frugivorous bird
endemic to western Angola. Its call sounds somewhat like a jungle monkey.
As a national bird
The national bird of Angola is the
striking, endemic red-crested turaco. The turaco itself is becoming a national
icon for conservation, especially bird and forest conservation. It occurs quite
commonly along the length of the Angolan escarpment and adjacent forested
habitats.
