South Africa- Tauraco corythaix

This true maxi-card  of a  Knysna Turaco (Tauraco corythaix)arrived today , the three elements  on the card are concordant, meaning the picture on the card, the pictorial cancel and the stamps are all related.
These birds have spectacular colors and the crimson flight  feathers of some Turacos   are treasured as status symbols by royalty and Chiefs all over Africa.
