Lady Ross's Turaco
(Musophaga rossae)

•Also known as the Violet Plantain-eater

•These birds get their remarkable color from the presence of two copper pigments in their plumage, that is unique to this genus.

•Contrary to popular belief, the color does not leach out of the birds' feathers in heavy rain.
