Beautiful Jungle Bird

One of our neighbors recently acquired a pair of toucans. She gave one away, but the second has become a member of the family. She feeds it maza (ground corn) and a variety of fruits. She had been leaving him with unclipped wings so he could fly about freely, but last week someone shot him down with a slingshot and clipped his wings to keep him. Fortunately, they left enough wing that he was able to flutter home.
