Shy Knysna Loerie Stock Image

The emerald green Knysna Turaco also known as the Knysna Loerie is a magnificent bird which is not often seen due to its shy and evasive nature. It`s indigenous habitat is the Knysna Forest in the Garden Route area of the Western Cape, South Africa. It ghosts from branch to branch and often the observant visitor will only hear a soft ruffling, then spot some dark red shape shapes the colour underneath its wings before it will disappear in the forests depths.
