    I think it’s called the Grey Lourie or Go Away Bird (it has call that sounds like “go away”)

      I do remember hearing that sound. I can still hear it now if I concentrate. So many amazing animals from this part of the world.

    it’s a grey turaco or which used to be known as a grey lourie, and often known as the go away bird for their call and habit of warning of the presence of man/predators to other animals.
