TOURACO. Turacou, Turaco, or Turakoo, common name applied to any of the African cumuliform birds constituting the family Musophagidae. These birds usually range in length from one to two feet, are brightly colored, and have loose, fluffy plumage. They have long tails and short, thick bills with a saw-toothed cutting edge; their heads bear erectile crests of feathers. The birds feed on bananas and plantains, and occasionally on insects. The giant Touraco, Corythaeloa Cristata, which is found in western and central Africa, is the largest of these birds, attaining a length of almost three feet. It is bluish green with a red and yellow bill. Touracos are also know as "helmet birds," "plantain eaters," and "plantain cutters."
