A Turaco is an exotic African softbill.

The attractive pair canoodling here are White-cheeked Turacos. Later we will introduce you to many more species as you continue to tour the site. Please select your destination using the navigation buttons on the left.

The International Turaco Society was set up in 1993 by a group of turaco enthusiasts who met at the Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford (Oxfordshire in England). Anyone interested in any aspect of keeping or breeding turacos is welcome to join.

My thanks to the members who have paid their subscription for 2013. If you have not paid yet, but wish to continue to be a member, then please renew your subscription now. Thank you.

Please support the I.T.S. You can apply or renew on line (£12 U.K. and £13 overseas).

The I.T.S. needs every turaco enthusiast's support.

Issue 38 of our magazine was posted out to all 2012 and 2013 members (30/03/13).
