This fuzzy green bird is Schalow's Turaco (Tauraco schalowi)! This colorful, vocal species inhabits parts of south-central Africa, including Angola, Namibia, and Zambia. It finds its home in evergreen forests or woodlands, where it feeds on a diet of fruit. Males and females are similar in appearance, with bright green-yellow plumage and tall crests.

Chiedete a chiunque quale sia la caratteristica che rende il piccione meno attraente, ed egli vi risponderà senza particolari esitazioni “il colore”. Sognando e disegnando fin da giovani gli arcobaleni cromatici dei pennuti tropicali, magnifici pappagalli, uccelli del paradiso, anatre mandarine, guardiamo i nostri cieli con l’ardente bramosia, di scorgere coi nostri occhi un giorno ...

Turaco harlaubi
The gorgeous red, green and blue feathers of the turaco make it easy for other animals to see; its loud, moaning call also attracts attention. However, the turaco spends most of its time in treetops, away from predators.
Great Blue Turaco - what a bird! Not a brilliant video but you can hear them calling.

Okay. I've done the work figuring out how Turaco's OS can theoretically support internationalization, and the technical aspects of adapting UTF-8 to a displayable font.
But here's a question I can't answer: Is it worth actually doing it? Because I have to do several things already:
So, what do you think?
So @mos_8502, the vera-turaco.pcf file is what maps the signals to the physical pins on the device. If you want, you can rearrange them to make PCB routing tidier.
You *can't* move clk50 because it's on a special pin for global clock inputs or extbus_irq_n because it's sharing with SPI_SO, but the *other* signals can be shuffled around however you'd like:
