  • Hi Casliber, review follows: 5x expanded from 14 July; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to tall the sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing form the ones I checked; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is good at this scale and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 14:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great blue turaco

The great blue turaco (Corythaeola cristata) is a bird species in the turaco family, Musophagidae, which is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest. It has a typical length of around 75 cm (30 in) with a mass of around 1 kg (2 lb). The adult great blue turaco has predominantly gray-blue upperparts with an upright blue-black crest. Its bill is yellow and the two sexes have similar plumage. This great blue turaco was photographed in Kibale National Park, Uganda.
