Do you have any fun facts about the Grey Go Away Bird? It's one of my favorites :)

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

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