That bill's just not going to fit
Today we're visiting Costa Rica, where this magnificent chestnut-mandibled toucan is fashioning a nest in the cavity of a tree. It can be hard to find a suitable space for this, the largest toucan in Costa Rica, so mating pairs will often use an abandoned woodpecker's nest or find a large hole in a decaying part of a tree. This one seems perfectly formfitting.
