Happy National Bird Day! 🦜
One of our Lady Ross' Turaco's enjoys a quick Sunday brunch this morning in the Rainforest. Did you know that their striking color comes from the presence of two copper pigments, turacoverdia, green pigment and turacin, red pigment. These pigments are unique only to the Turaco.
