Gallirex is not a species, it's a genus containing two species, the birds in the videos above: the Rwenzori Turaco and the Purple-crested Turaco. I haven't seen either of these, but we do have turacos where I live; here's a post I wrote about one of them.
Wild and wonderful coloration
Fills the beautiful Gallirex nation
Birds like paint chips thrown at random
Turacos building up a fandom!
Filling trees with bright delight
Then spreading wings in gorgeous flight.
