Spotted
The White-crested Turaco is a striking turaco species known for its emerald green plumage, bright red eye-ring, and, most distinctly, a prominent white crest that contrasts beautifully with its head.
Where to spot
Found in gallery forests, woodlands, and forest edges across West and Central Africa, from eastern Nigeria to western Cameroon and parts of Central African Republic.
How to spot
Look for its striking white crest as it moves through the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its loud, harsh 'kra-kra-kra' or 'go-away' calls, often given by pairs or small groups.
When to spot
Present year-round. Often seen actively foraging and vocalizing during the early morning and late afternoon.

The prominent white crest is a key feature that helps differentiate it from other green turaco species found in its range.
