Turacos

Turacos are birds that appear in The Lion Guard universe. They live in the Pride Lands and the Tree of Life.
==Appearance==
===In The Lion Guard===
The turacos featured in The Lion Guard differ slightly in appearance from real turacos. While they do have blue upperparts and bluish black crests, their underparts are sky blue rather than yellow-green.
==Information==
===In the Real World===
Turacos are tree-dwelling birds that spend all day feeding upon various plant parts (fruit, leaves, blossoms, etc) and insects. Turacos are vocal birds that utter deep, guttural calls, sometimes preceded by a quieter rolling trill noise. These sounds play a significant part in their displays of courtship. Female turacos lay two eggs at a time. These eggs are round, almost spherical, and light blue in color. When the offspring hatch, they are fed with regurgitated leaves.
