About Black-bellied Whistling-Duck on wiki

Taking to the skies. And no, it was not because of me.  A bunch of ducks I spotted in Costa Rica when I was there. Take a look at the video I found on youtube. So many chicks mum can hardly walk.
Ett gäng änder jag såg i Costa Rica när jag var där. Nej, det var inte jag som skrämde upp dom. Videon hittade jag på youtube, kolla alla småttingarna :)

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.

This should be a male as the female has a smaller dark area around the eye.
