Bird Coloration: Mechanisms and measurements
Turacin, formerly known as "turacoporphyrin" (Church 1 892), is a copper-
porphyrin conjugate (With 1957). Despite early claims that it was composed of
uroporphyrin I (Fischer and Hilger 1923, 1924), it contains almost pure
uroporphyrin III ...

Possibly there is also another band, which is at best a very indistinct one, and as
it may not be due to turacin we will disregard it, confining our attention to the
obvious ones. These we will call a and j8, the former having its position of

A perennial enigma is involved in the secretion of the red copper uroporphyrin,
turacin, in the quill feathers of the African plantain-eating touraco (Mayer & Cook,
