It is a beautiful beak, but don´t seem to be that practical.

About Keel-billed Toucan on wiki ,also known as Sulfur-breasted Toucan, Rainbow-billed Toucan, is a colorful Latin American member of the toucan family. It is the national bird of Belize. Hmmmm, this bird has many names :) In Sweden we have a saying "dear child has many names" so it is probably popular then.

  3. one of my favorite birds! As a kid I made a mask of this Toucan to go to carnival - and the beak wasn't practical either :-)

  4. Sååå många härliga fåglar, sedan jag var inne sist. Färgsprakande och några med ´duettsång´. Den undre bilden : Är det dig Tukanen är ´generad´ inför? Ingvar

I love comments so please write something. I usually responds to everyone on their own blogs. But nowadays I often find it impossible to comment on many blogs or on Google+. Often the word verifications is unreadable. And after three times I give up. Other times the systems seems to think I am a spammer. Lots of bloggers loose comments that way. :( So, if you don´t see me comment on your blog that is the reason.
