Foraging Ecology of Three Sympatric Turacos in a Montane Forest in Rwanda [PDF]
-We studied the foraging ecology of three sympatric turacos (Great Blue Turaco [Corythaeola cristata], Ruwenzori Turaco [Musophaga johnstoni], and Black-billed Turaco [Tauraco schuettii]) in a tropical montane forest in Rwanda between November 1991 and December 1992. All three species fed primarily on fruit.
