The Black-billed Turaco is a vibrant turaco with predominantly green plumage, a red crest, and a distinctive two-toned bill with a black upper mandible. It is an inhabitant of Central African forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits primary and secondary rainforests, often in montane and submontane areas, across Central Africa from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.
How to spot
Look for its green body, red crest, and distinct black bill in the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its loud, rolling 'caw-caw-caw' or 'kow-kow-kow' calls, often given rapidly.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most active and vocal in the early mornings and late afternoons, when they forage for fruits.

The contrasting red and black bill is a unique characteristic that helps distinguish it from other similar green turaco species.
