Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil.
Parque das Aves is an internationally recognised rescue and conservation centre for birds, located in the middle of the Rainforest, neighbour of the Iguaçu National Park.
The Toco Toucan is one of the headline species of the Pantanal. We were fortunate enough to start seeing them right from the beginning. This one happens to be the first one we saw. That bright orange beak is so impressive it is no surprise that everyone wants to see one when they visit the area.

The White-throated Toucan is among the charismatic toucans, well-known for their large bills and bright colours. This species does not disappoint on those counts. This individual was seen at a private sanctuary along the lower portion of the highly diverse Manu Road in Peru.
The Toco toucan is at home in South America's tropical forests but recognized everywhere. The toucan's oversized, colorful bill has made it one of the world's most popular birds.
As a weapon, the Toucan's bill is more show than substance. It is a honeycomb of bone that actually contains a lot of air. While its size may deter predators, it is of little use in combating them.
But the Toucan's bill is useful as a feeding tool. They use them to reach fruit on branches that are too small to support their weight, and also to skin their pickings. Apart from fruit, Toco toucans eat insects and, sometimes, young birds, eggs, or lizards.
Ramphastos toco (also known as the Common Toucan) is the largest of the toucan family and has the largest bill relative to body size of all birds.
Conservation Status: Least Concerned.
Found in the Parker Aviary, San Diego Zoo
Keel billed toucans took the same path to the feeder...so anticipating the flight became easier!

Toucan Barbet is one of South America's fanciest birds. Found only in western Colombia and western Ecuador, this colorful species is frugivorous and has a cooperative breeding system. The species shows a huge variety of color, with a pale, black-tipped stocky bill, blackish crown, pale blue throat and face, dull orange back and flanks, red bib, and dark blue-black wings and tail. Toucan Barbet formerly was classified in the Capitonidae, or New World Barbets, but the species is now placed in Semnornithidae,along with Prong-billed Barbet (Semnornis franztii). The two species of Semnornis are superficially intermediate between the New World barbets and the toucans (Ramphastidae). Near Threatened.

I generally do not like to take pictures of animals or birds in captivity but I will never get the chance to see one of these beautiful birds in the wild, so I took the shot. This shot was taken at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine Florida.
J&T Wildlife Photography Photos Of The Week:
Loving trying to capture the personality of this beautiful Toucan; a happy fly about freely bird in the Assiniboine Zoo's Tropical House. He is very inquisitive and he loves to pose for certain people, lol. Imagine having to look down a beak the length of almost half your body and eat and drink and carry on like nothing is out of the ordinary.
What a thrill it was to see these beautiful birds - a first for me. Taken in South Pantanal, Brazil.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
I snapped this beauty at The National Aviary in Pittsburgh PA...Thank you very much for viewing my photo ! I truly appreciate any faves and comments ! 🐦
Very colorful South American bird at the World Of Birds, The Bronx Zoo, NYC -- August 21, 2021
"Toucans are members of the Neotropical near passerine bird family Ramphastidae. The Ramphastidae are most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often-colorful bills. The family includes five genera and over forty different species." ~ Wikipedia
