The story starts when one by one different birds approach the Go-Away bird asking him to chat or eat or play. The Go-Away bird is very unfriendly however and tells them all to 'Go away!!!' Grey Go-away-bird is resident in its range, but it makes seasonal local movements, according to the food and water resources in southern Africa. The plumage of go-away-birds and plantain-eaters is mainly grey and white. The turacos on the other hand are brightly coloured birds, usually blue, green or purple. The green colour in turacos comes from turacoverdin, the only true green pigment in birds known to date. Other "greens" in bird colors result from a yellow pigment such as some carotenoid, combined with the prismatic physical structure of the feather itself which scatters the light in a particular way and giving a blue colour.
