does anyone know if this bird is real and what it is
It is, it’s a red-crested turaco.
Turacos are FANTASTIC.
The reason they are such stunning colours is because they produce some really unusual pigments. For the greens, a pigment called turacoverdin (which is only found in a few groups of birds) and is the only true green pigment found in birds – other birds make the colour green from using feather structure to refract light a certain way. And the reds, from the pigment turacin, whereas most birds make reds from carotenoids (it used to be thought that ONLY turacos produced turacin, but it has recently been found in some other bird groups, such as rails).
They also often have crests, and long tails, and make fantastically loud noises, and tend to get really agitated when displaying or defending territory and jump up and down on branches angrily, and they can point their fourth toe either backwards or forwards.
Here are some more pictures of this fantastic bird family (I love turacos. if anyone wants to come and talk about turacos with me I will be VERY EXCITED):
