Fischer's turaco 

(Tauraco fischeri) is a species of bird in the family Musophagidae. It is found


in Coastal East Africa, including Kenya, Somalia, and Tanzania. Its
natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical
moist montane forest, and arable land. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the wildlife
trade.

Measurements:

 Length: 16 in (40 cm)[4]
 Weight: Males 8.11-9.49 oz (230-269 g); females 8.01-9.98 oz (227-283 g)[5]
These green bodied turacos have a white-tipped reddish crest, a black belly, and red primaries.
They also feature green-blue wings and a dark blue-green tail.[6]
The red skin around their eyes is margined in front by a white line that extends to its bright red
bill, and below by a small black patch also boarded by a white line that extends to below its ear-
covets.[7] Their white eye stripes and red orbital skin help to distinguish them from the more
common Red-crested turaco.[3]
