The common name comes from a call that the bird makes that sounds a bit like "go away".

Productive day!

These three were humanely euthanazed due to either a broken wing or broken leg or both, that could not be repaired.

Bonus budgy

Species: grey go-away-bird, spotted thick knee, hadeda Ibis and budgerigar. Budgy and thick knee skulls are macerating.

Most of these pieces have been claimed as a trade, the rest I’ll be keeping.

I don't know if I have any particularly fun facts, but I can definitely make a post for you about them...

Grey Go-Away Bird or Grey Lourie (Crinifer concolor), family Musophagidae, order Musophagiformes, found in Southern Africa

The common name comes from a call that the bird makes that sounds a bit like “go away”, which they tend to make when disturbed.

They often forage on treetops, looking for fruit and insects in groups or 20-30.

There are 3 go-away birds, and they are in the same genus as plantain eater, and the same family as Turacos.
