Tucano

This afternoon, we saw a group of 7 Channel-billed Toucans flying around (Tucano-De-Bico-Preto), from a freinds house. These are amazingly beautiful birds, with a lively colour dressing, have a playfull character to match. The downside is, that they have a terrible voice.

These Toucans are not a frequent sight here in Rio. But luckily, the sightings are increasing, which indicates that the population is recuperating, or else, that they are not afraid from humans any more. Probabely hunting is also being reduced by more rigid environmental laws.
