A bird with a pretty powerful bill don´t you think?  They eat fruit and small insects and frogs. So, one wonder what the big bill is about? Being handsome? :)

  7. What an interesting bird. The bill can hold more than its belly can - kind of like a pel-i-can.

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.
