I.T.S. Logo	The 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.
	Welcome to our web site.
	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. Members who have paid their 2009 subscription have been sent the Spring 2009 magazine, Issue 31. There are still 37 2008 members who have not renewed for 2009. Please continue to support the I.T.S. You can apply or renew on line (£12 U.K. and £13 overseas).

Members' advertisements "Turacos for sale or wanted" Lost and found Although turacos are not native to the UK, a number are living 'wild', having escaped from a collection somewhere. They are usually White-cheeked, but a few Violaceous have been spotted and any species kept in captivity could potentially escape from its flight. To identify the turaco have a look at the pictures on the species page. As for where he/she has come from a good point of contact is John Hayward on 01869 325699, e-mail , who co-ordinates a national register of lost and stolen birds. He will pass the information on to Cage & Aviary Birds, a weekly newspaper. Egg incubation helpline: Nick Manning E-mail Tel: (UK) 07979305441 Details When contacting Nick Manning it is helpful to know basic details about the incubator you need help with, e.g. is it still air or fan assisted, does it have automatic turning or not?
