Description from the seller

Green Turaco from South Africa - Tauraco corythaix - 33×14×25 cm

In this presentation, we showcase an elegant preserved specimen of the South African Green Turaco, one of the most iconic representatives of the Musophagidae family, renowned for its intense plumage and the presence of the natural pigments turacina and turacoverdina, unique in the bird kingdom. This adult specimen displays a particularly bright plumage, characterized by the velvety green that distinguishes the species and an erect crest, deep green in color with silky reflections.

The specimen is distinguished by:

Feathering perfectly preserved, with vivid and natural colors, respectful of the original species' coloration.

The crest is intact and well-shaped, one of the most distinctive and sought-after features in the Turaco.

Accurate anatomical details, with an intact orange-red beak, characteristic periocular ring, and proportionate legs.

An elegant and harmonious pose that faithfully reproduces the alert attitude typical of animals in nature.

High-quality glass eyes that provide a realistic and lively expression.

The Green Turaco is a species symbolic of South African forests, appreciated by ornithologists for its unique coloration and by naturalia collectors for its aesthetic and decorative impact. The specimen offered, thanks to meticulous taxidermic preparation and excellent feather preservation, is perfectly suited for private collections, museums, scenic sets, or environments decorated in a naturalistic-exotic style.

A refined piece with a strong visual presence, ideal for enriching any collection dedicated to African avifauna.

The buyer is responsible for verifying the import authorization of an item, as well as the duties and taxes payable at the time of import. Therefore, it is recommended to check for any specific rules applicable to importing an item into their country. These regulations may concern import bans and licenses, as well as customs duties, VAT, excise taxes, and clearance costs.
