A pair of Knysna Turacos watch me warily as I disturb their afternoon snack of wild olives. These elegant birds always prompt me to make a word association with the adjective: demure.
Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English:
demure - quiet, serious and well-behaved - used especially about women
demure - quiet, serious and well-behaved - used especially about women
Their demureness is however shattered by their raucous, guttural call!
OJ - considering the demureness of the Turaco
