It's always wierd for me to think the Knysna Loerie is anywhere except - well - Knysna. But I know his habitat extends well into Natal. The only time I've ever seen him is in the forests of Knysna. Hiking the Otter there were a LOT. I am sure his cousin, your purple-crested turaco is just as exquisite

Otto Trail looked amazing we never had the good fortune of full hike but walked a fair bit down when our sons where young, in wet weather.
Our visitor who is shy, fast between the trees seldom sits long enough to get a good pic. Very scarlet beneath the wings when in flight much like the Knysna bird.
It's really difficult to get into. Much like the Fish River Canyon. We had to book years in advance. But the first day is easily done. That part I've walked many times.
Your Turaco is gorgeous!
Travelled down to the Cape late 80s staying mostly in Parks Board accommodation, no problem back then, it was a trip to remember.
