Hallturako, Corythaixoides concolor


Hallturako on inglise keeles väga intrigeeriva nimega - Hall Mine-Ära-Lind. Targad raamatud väidavad, et see ei tulene mitte sellest, et lind oleks kuidagi pealetükkiv (kuigi puuviljaaedade omanikud neid ei salli) vaid hoopis sellest, et tema laul kõlab kui "go-away, go-away". No mina ei tea, kuulake ise. Pigem kõlab hoopis kui lapse vääksumine. Krugeri rahvuspark, LAV.
Grey go-away-bird has a very intriguing name.  It turns out that it is not because this bird is somehow especially intrusive towards humans (although the owners of fruit gardens hate these guys) but because the song of the bird sounds like "go-away, go-away". Well, you can decide yourselves. In my opinion it is more like a baby crying. Kruger National Park, South Africa.
