Amazing capture of 2 toucans


In the mornings and afternoon we enjoy sitting out on the porch watching all the birds that come to the trees surrounding the house. We try to identify them and take pictures. 


The Toucan's are regular visitors to Villa Toucan ( hence the name). We get both the keel billed and the Chestnut billed  and have taken pictures of both. I noticed one day a pair together on a tree beak to beak, which I have never seen. A few days later we are sitting there and 2 Chestnut billed Toucans fly  into the tree right next to the porch. I ask George to take a pic of the pair. 

The one on the left has a broken beak - The one on the right a berry
 While editing the pictures I realized what we just saw. The one Toucan had a broken beak making it impossible to eat a berry off the tree. The other one got the berry and passed it to it so it could eat. 
Amazing. They are taking care of each other.
