Not too far from the Plaintain eater, we saw its much more exclusive cousin, the Guinea turaco (also called the Green turaco). It hid for a long time inside the foliage, as Turakos usually do, but our guide got it into a "Plaintain-eater position" by playing its typical call. Therefore, for a few seconds, it perched in the open and we could take pictures of it. The Guinea turaco is one of five turaco species found in Ghana and, like three of the others, very colorful. In addition to the strangely flat head, which is finely marked in white, black, red, and green, orange and blue colors explode under its wings when it takes off... It is not as big as the Plaintain eater, but reaches just over 40 cm with its long tail. Just like its close relatives, it subsists mostly on various fruits and moves mostly by climbing between branches in the treetops. It takes wing quite reluctantly.
