2025 Worldwide Turaco Census

Worldwide Census of Turacos in Aviculture

This is a 2025 census of all turaco species in aviculture. There are two parts: Part 1 covers general turaco aviculture, and Part 2 covers the specific species, genders, and numbers of turacos kept.
Whether you have one turaco or hundreds, please participate. The more data we can collect the better so feel free to share this survey to any turaco keeper you know.

You need to have a valid email to fill out the census, but your name and email will be disclosed in the census results ONLY if you agree, otherwise that will be kept private. Note: even if you agree to disclose your identity, when I report the results, your individual responses will not be linked to your name or email. so your privacy is maintained. Your name/email is only listed as a participant.

All participants will be sent an email with the report on results sometime after I close the census at the end of January 2025. If you have any questions, please let me know.

The last worldwide turaco census was done five years ago in Feb. 2020. If you are interested in those results, visit https://dlaviaries.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/turaco-survey-2020.pdf.

Thank you for your participation!

Part Two: Turaco Numbers

In this section of the census, you can record all your turacos' species and sex/genders (male/female/unknown).
* If your turacos are currently breeding, please only count the chicks that are fledged.

* If you have birds in breeding loan situations, coordinate with the members so that the birds are counted only once in this census.

*If using a phone and having trouble seeing all the columns, view your phone horizontally.
