Can you hear the Knysna Turaco? Also known as the Knysna Lourie, as the song I've chosen says. It's one of my new favourite birds since visiting Eastern Cape. A picture-perfect bird, but with a call that sounds like a mix between a dog and a howler monkey. . . . #knysna #knysnaturaco #knysnalourie #lourie #turaco #birdphoto #birdphotography #southafrica #Easterncape #southafricanbirds #Africanbirds #birdsofeasterncape #chintsa #chintsawest #inkwenkwezigamereserve #inkwenkwezi

Knysna Loerie (Tauraco corythaix) #turacothursday? Sure Although they're known as part of the Turaco family, us South Africans know them as "Loeries" The flash of red as they fly off is always so beautiful to see. Their colours, unlike other bird species come entirely from pigmentation, rather than reflected/refracted light. I first saw one in a birding guide my grandparents had on their coffee table. I was a very young child, but every time we visited, I would flick through the pages of that book until I found the loeries. They don't like being out in the open so they can be difficult to spot. Every time I see one I don't seem to have my camera handy 😅 Luckily, this time I did, although the ISO was high and backlight strong. Hope to see them again the next time I'm at The Island #birding #birdlife_insta #rebel_nature #birdlifeeasterncape #easterncapenature #capenature #turaco #knysna #knysnaturaco #knysnaloerie #loerie #theisland #natgeoyourshot #naturereserve #bird_perfection #your_best_animal #your_best_birds #birds_adored #birdingsouthafrica #bird_brilliance #birds_bees_flowers_n_trees #birds_photography_official #animalplanet #bbcwildlifepotd

Knysna Turaco (also Knyna Loerie). Finally managed to photograph one of Wilderness National park’s most active, abundant but skulky birds. You can see (but will most probably first hear) the Knysna Turaco at Ebb & Flow rest camp and pretty much all over the National Park. You don’t have to hike at all to find this beautiful chicken😂. #knysnaloerie #knysnaturaco #turaco #wilderness #thewilderness #wildernessnationalpark #gardenroute #ebbandflowrestcamp #halfcollaredkingfishertrail #gobirdingsouthafrica #birdsofsouthafrica #southafricanbirds #birdingsouthafrica #birdlifesouthafrica #africanbirds #gardenroute #wildernesssouthafrica #wildernesswesterncape #southafricannationalparks #sanparks

•Knysna Turaco •This stunning forest special is also known as the Knysna Loerie🌲. These birds can be found in forests all along the Garden Route and also in certain areas of Mpumalanga. They are known for their vibrant plumage that appears glossy green until the bird takes off flaunting a striking crimson under its wings and tail. Knysna Turacos are arboreal birds, meaning they spend most of their time in the trees foraging for various fruits 🍇. These birds also hold cultural significance in South Africa featuring in traditional stories as a representation of beauty and freedom. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #canon #canonwildlifephotography #knysnaturaco #knysnaloerie #naturesvalleyforest #birdsofinstagram #birdsofsouthafrica #nvt

*SOLD* Knysna Turaco (Loerie) and Natal Plum💕 A3 watercolour painting, unframed. R3500 I chose the Natal Plum (Carissa Macrocarpa) or 'num num berry' because it is one of the Knysna Turaco's favourite snacks🤤 While doing research for this painting, I also came across this really interesting fact: Did you know that Turacos are the only birds to possess true red and green colors? When you look at most birds, the color you are seeing is a reflection produced by the feather structure. The turaco's red pigment (turacin) and green pigment (turacoverdin) both contain copper. In fact, if you stirred a glass of water with a red turaco feather, the water would turn pink! How awesome!?😍 - - - #knysnaturaco #knysnaloerie #loeries #natalplum #carissamacrocarpa #southafricanartist #knysna #southafricanart #southafrica #artsouthafrica #turacos #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #botanicalartist #watercolour #winsorandnewton #kumgermany #watercolourillustration #watercolourbird #montmarte #proart #primeart #yourbestbirds #natureart #potd #natureartists #paintingoftheday #botany

Out here with the wild things; this is where I belong. At Cocoon Cabins you’ll experience the ancient whispers of the indigenous forest and enjoy close encounters with the Knysna turaco. The Knysna turaco is usually seen flying between forest trees, where you’ll catch a magical glimpse of its crimson wings or hear it’s loud kow-kow-kow-kow call. . . . . . #knysnaturaco #naturelovers #cabinstays #gardenroutesouthafrica #cabininthewoods #weekendgetaway

Emerald Elegance 🍃💚 In the lush canopies of Knysna, the vibrant green plumage of the Knysna Turaco is a jewel among the foliage. With its striking white cheek stripes and elegant crest, it moves gracefully through the trees, a flash of color in the dappled light. This elusive bird is most often found in the dense forested areas and riverine woodlands, where its loud and distinctive calls resonate through the air. Its unique red wing feathers, usually hidden, create a stunning visual display when in flight. Beyond its striking appearance, the Knysna Turaco is also known for its agility and elusiveness, often heard more than seen as it navigates the treetops with quick, adept flights. Remarkably, it is one of the few birds capable of moving through dense foliage by hopping and leaping, using its long tail for balance. This adaptation allows it to thrive in the dense forests of Knysna, making each glimpse of this elusive bird all the more special for enthusiasts and casual observers alike. #knysna #knysnaturaco #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchers #birdwatchersofinstagram #birdwatchersdaily #bird #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #birdlife_sa #exploreafrica #africa #africaisbeautiful #onlyafrica #thisisafrica #nature #naturephotography #natgeo #naturelover #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel #mibird #birdingsouthafrica #birdsofsouthafrica #southafricanbirds #birdsofsa #bestbirdshots

The red color underneath the wings of a Turaco, like the Knysna Loerie, serves various purposes. Firstly, it acts as camouflage in the lush vegetation, helping the bird blend in and avoid predators. The red feathers also play a role in social interactions, signaling dominance, attracting mates, and communicating within the group. Additionally, the vibrant color aids in species identification and may be more pronounced during courtship displays. The intensity of the red can serve as an indicator of the bird's health and genetic fitness. Overall, these colorful feathers contribute to the Turaco's survival, social dynamics, and reproductive success in its natural habitat. 🐦🐦🐦 #birds #birdaviary #birdsanctuary #skalgardenroute #skålgardenroute #Saasavisit #truesanctuary #bird #birds #turaco #loerie #knysnaloerie #knysnaturaco
