“Go away! Go away!” That would be quite a surprising thing to hear as you stepped out your back door and into your garden one morning; however if you lived in South Africa you just might. Fortunately it wouldn’t be one of your human neighbors expressing a less than friendly sentiment but the call of the Grey Go-away-bird.
The Go-away-bird, Corythaixoides concolor, is a South African species of Turaco also commonly called the Grey Lourie or the Kwêvoël. Mostly fructivorous (fruit-eating), these birds are also fond of plant buds and insects on occasion as well.
Needless to say, this image of one, submitted to the BirdCam Photo Gallery by Justin from South Africa, certainly adds another species to the BirdCam Life List. Baie dankie and thanks Justin!
