What does TURACO mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A fruit-eating African bird with bright plumage, a prominent crest and a long tail.
The turaco lives in the forests and wooded savannas of sub-Saharan Africa, where it climbs through branches more than it flies. Its green or blue feathers owe their colour to rare pigments found in few other birds, and a red patch in the wing shows when it spreads them. The name is also spelled touraco, and both forms come from the same bird.
