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.

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? :)
