KNYSNA LOURIE or KNYSNA TURACOTauraco corythaix ©letspicture.com.br Habitat: Forests Distribution: Found only in South Africa. Diet Description: Fruit, insects and earthworms Socialisation: Knysna louries clamber around in trees, hopping from branch to branch in search of fruit and seeds, which they swallow whole. They exist usually in pairs or small family groups, and noisily defend their territory with a hoarse ‘kow-kow’ noise. Reproduction: Nests at different times of year, depending on region. The nest is a shallow platform of sticks placed in leafy tree or dense creepers. Although two eggs are laid, usually only one nestling will hatch.
