The Grey Go-away Bird was previously included in the distinct species Corythaix, but is now considered to form a super-species with C. personatus. This species is unique amongst the Turaco family in that it possess an all-over grey plumage. Throughout its distribution, the Grey Go-away Bird will often inhabit woodlands, but it has a preference for more open thornbush country, often near water. The diet of this particular species includes fruit, leaves and insects, although, when given a choice, in aviculture individuals have tended towards a diet emphasising grains and leaves rather than fruit. CITES: Not considered globally threatened. Generally common in social groups. Return to Species Page |
