Frequently asked questions

How many turacos are found in Tanzania?

12 turacos that we profile appear on Tanzania's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these turacos really found there?

Yes — each one is on Tanzania's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these turacos belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
