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.

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.
