Violet Turaco

Musophaga violacea

Description:

Notes:

I am not confident of the species since I believe the named species is African, but this was at a bird sanctuary so it could have been an outlier

nice colors on the crest..I see that its banded too..is it perched in an exhibit someplace, or is it in the wild?
