From the order of piciformes in the family of Ramphastidae is the species Ramphastos S. Sulfuratus or the Keel-Billed Toucan. Bubba has been excited about government giving him a tour guide license for birdwatching, and all week he's been acting like the world's greatest authority on birds. They live in the forests of Belize, travel in flocks, eating the fruits of the jungle as they go.
Toucans are among the few tropical birds that are widely known to non-ornithologists.
The bill's color and great size is most probably the reason for this notoriety. The bill is composed of thin plates and is surprisingly light for its size. Most oddities in nature can be explained by specialization but the toucan's need for a bill four times the size of its head is a mystery. One book I read suggested its use was picking fruits and berries from a perching position with little effort. Its colors are startling, from its rainbow bill to its iridescent blue legs, few birds display such a variety of color.
