TOUCANS: FAVORITE PICTURES

TOUCANS IN MY GARDEN
Today I start posting some of my favorite pictures. Today will be about Toucans that had visited my garden in 2006.
The Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) is the best known and largest member of the toucan family. They live in South American rainforests and Cerrado savannah. Toucans get their name from ‘tucano’ given to them by the Tupi Indians of Brazil. The largest species, the Toco Toucan, is about 25 inches (64 cm) long.
Here you can hear their sound.

  3. Yes - WOW. These birds live only in our imagination. How wonderful to actually see them in your garden. My husband who doesn't really take very much interest in my blog world was very impressed!
    Actually, I'm always showing him things on your blog.
    I notice you haven't been posting much - are you ok? Or just having a break?

    I was thrilled to see my wolf photos on your post. It was amazing that of all the animals at that zoo - I was drawn to them.

    I see you have a Doris Lessing book recommended. I just tried to read my first Doris Lessing book - The Cleft. I didn't like it (and I didn't finish it). But I haven't given up on her - I shall try The Grandmothers.

    I know it is a little late, Sonia, but I wish for you a happy and healthy New Year.
    And thank you for being such an interesting blogger and a wonderful blogger friend.
    Best wishes,
    Letitia.

  7. Olá Sonia, é muito lindo, tenho na memória a primeira vez que vi um tucano, eu tinha 7 anos e foi na escola, uma escola rural, desde então eu vibro quando vejo um. Beijos!

  8. Thank you for your kind comment on my azzurro post! I was close to taking the post off the air, one shouldn't post about personal likes probably. Made me a bit weary to continue.

    These must have been such exciting times, when the toucans showed up in your trees! Have they been back since?

  12. I always think of these birds as being so exotic, guess that means your garden is too, lucky girl!!

  13. Sonia, lindas fotos que o Carlos fez do Tucano. Uma pena, não conseguí ouvir o canto no link, não abriu.
    Aqui em Mongaguá ainda tem uns trechos de Mata Atlântica e os tucanos aparecem, esporádicos, mas aparecem.
    Beijo, menina

  14. Muito bem, agora é que eu vou mesmo ter de dizer que assim não vale... até tucanos no seu jardim você tem Sonia? Mas em que recanto do paraíso é que você mora?

  17. We are a bird family with a green fronted Amazon who has been with us for 22 years now. We have other birds also but Sadie is definitely a ember of the family! I appreciate your photo and am a bit envious. I'm building my links on my Mexico blog so I'm glad that I found you again on Leena's blog! I'll come back to visit more often now.

  18. A toucan in one of your trees?! Oh my! Lucky you!

    ReplyDelete
  19. That is a hornbill, right? I only seen them in pictures.

    How wonderful to have one visit you in your garden!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hi Ming! Toucans is not a Hornbill. Hornbill's Order is Coraciiformes and his Family is Bucerotidae.

    The Order of Toucans is Piciformes and his Family is Ramphastidae.

  22. How exciting to have Toucans in your backyard! Looks like the palm had a good feast of fruit to offer.
    I also enjoyed the beautiful, tranquil photos of your countryside below. They certainly made me feel relaxed :)
    I hope 2008 will be a blessed and joyful year for you and your family dear Sonia.
    I look forward to seeing many more of your wonderful photos and reading about your corner of the world.

  27. Olá Sonia

    Vocês são realmente uns previlegiados: alem de morarem num lugar lindo ainda recebem visitas ilustres como a deste tucano.

    Parabens
