To the Beauty of Birds

The White-bellied Go-away Corythaixoides leukogaster gets its name for its call which is a nasal haa-haa-haa, like bleating of a sheep, and a single or repeated gwa (or g'away) It flies from tree to tree in loose straggling groups, calling loudly. The White-bellied Go-away is the only Turaco species to exhibit sexual dimorphism, the cock bird has a dark beak, whilst the hen possesses an olive-colored one (see diagram). Its range is Central and South Africa.

The bill is black in male, pea-green in the female.
