Emerald Toucanet

Cabinas El Quetzal

San Gerardo De Dota, Costa Rica March 2024

Just hanging out in the trees, showing off its bright green feathers with pops of blue and yellow. Caught it snacking on some fruit and letting out a few cute little calls-such a chill moment in the cloud forest.

Toucanets are toucans, just much smaller than the other types of toucan.

I would buy cereal from that bird.

Kelloggs has me so programmed I too think of cereal every time I see anything remotely toucan shaped. 😁

Come to think of it, they have not had the same success with tigers. 🤔

With tigers, I'm thinking that I've at least seen them in context with many other things over the years, in lots of other cartoons, mascots, video games, etc.

The toucans though, while I've seen a number on exhibit, I've otherwise only really seen them promoting Froot Loops...

Happens when I see two cans sitting next to each other too.
