Purple-Crested Turaco Fun Fact: A fun fact about the purple-crested turaco is that its vibrant purple and green feathers contain a unique pigment called turacins, which are only found in turacos. These pigments give the bird its striking colors, especially its brilliant purple crest. The purple-crested turaco is also the national bird of the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), where it is admired for its beauty and symbolic representation of the country’s rich natural heritage.
