The Rwenzori Turaco (Gallirex johnstoni) is a striking bird species native to the montane forests of the Rwenzori Mountains, which straddle the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Known for its vibrant plumage, the Rwenzori Turaco displays a mix of green, blue, and violet feathers, with a distinctive crimson crest and red wing patches visible during flight. It primarily feeds on fruits, especially figs, and plays a crucial role in seed dispersal within its ecosystem. This bird thrives in high-altitude forests and is considered a symbol of the region's rich biodiversity.
