Meet the
"Laughing Toucan"
Laughing Toucan
Costa
Rica's six Marvelous Toucan species... are
among the most flamboyant of all Central American
birds!
The "Flying Banana"
(Bright Billed Toucan)
1) The bright-billed Toucans,
nicknamed the "flying
bananas",
are a particular delight to watch, as they pick
fruit off one at a time with their long beaks, throw them
in the air and catch them, at the back of their throats.

The Chestnut - Mandible Toucan
(Also called "Swanson's Toucan)
2) That loud frog
like croak is the Swanson's Toucan...
that noisy jumble of cries and piercing creaks, could
well
be a congregation of gregarious Chestnut - Mandible
Toucans.

Toucans are for the true bird enthusiast. With
their long,
colorful beaks and their "animated" personality... they are
truly
the "elite" of the bird kingdom. They have cute and
playful antics and a very distinctive, bird language.
From the large Toco's, to the tiny
Toucanette's
and Aracari's, all Toucans are
truly wondrous creatures...
