I can't remember where I took this, I think Atlanta Zoo. I'm not real

Hi, Great photo!! Looks like a pair of Violet Plantain-eaters, also known
as Violaceous Turaco (Musophaga violacea), an African species.

The Violet Turaco (Musophaga violacea) is a large turaco, a group of African near-passerines. It is a resident breeder in the forests of tropical west Africa. It lays two eggs in a tree platform nest.
