$Creature Closeups: Turacos | California Academy of Sciences If Lisa Frank were to design a bird… …it might look like a red-crested turaco. Scarlet and Skittles bring bold color and big rainbow energy to Osher Rainforest… …with fabulous red and green feathers that are unique in the animal kingdom: Their colors are produced by actual pigment, not refracted light like in other birds. This technicolor twosome does everything together… …from walking and squawking in the canopy… …to taking turns at the feeding station… …to making babies! A female chick hatched in December… …which will help maintain genetic diversity among turaco populations in human care. (And provide hair inspo for us humans.)
