Tauraco livingstonii
Livingstone's Turaco (Tauraco livingstonii)
This bird was in a kind of bird sanctuary near the airport of Kobe Japan. I believe this species is found in Africa, but it is not native to Japan.
@rpsonak3, my pleasure. That's what PN Rangers are here for. You can seek their help any time.
@auntnance, the white hairstyle is what tipped the scale for me, but never would have got it without your links--thanks again!
Yes a much better choice, rpsonak3
I was second-guessing as soon as I posted the ID. Glad the link helped.
Thanks for the help. I think based on the links you sent & some other pics of same bird I took it is the Livingstone's Turaco (Tauraco livingstonii), which appears to be native to Africa so must have been brought to this sanctuary by humans. thanks!
I think I picked the right one, but you can double-check here: http://www.camacdonald.com/birding/Sampl...
