ross's turaco (lady ross)
Common to Central and southern Africa
 |
 |
| Ross's Turaco is a clumsy flyer but it is well adapted for clambering through trees. |
| They have three toes on each foot that point forward, while the fourth toe can be rotated forward or backwards. |
| Turacos are the only birds to possess true red and green color. When you look at most birds, the color you are seeing is a reflection produced by the feather structure. |
laughing kookaburra
The laughing kookaburra is common to Australia and is the largest of the kingfishers.
| The laughing kookaburra got its common name from the loud territorial sound that it makes. The calls are often mistaken for many different animals, such as donkeys or monkeys. |
| In many of the old Tarzan movies, the jungle sounds were often recordings of the laughing kookaburra call, which lives nowhere near Africa. |
