Please click to enlarge. I think this Curl-crested Aracari’s date should spring for a good restaurant!
I don’t know about you, but if I spend this much time getting ready, I like to go to a really nice place. Have you ever seen such nice curls on a Toucan before?
I would think only the very best Amazon Basin fruit tree would do!
Plus, I can sort of tell it’s expected……
Cheers to you from Owen’s Aviary, San Diego Zoo!

Awww. Your blog brings inner peace to all who visit! Thank you sincerely!
“All dressed up” indeed! Impressive bird!
He really does put me to shame~
All those head curls almost look like the shiny mylar type ribbon used for decorating Christmas gifts when it’s made into a curly bow.
It does look just like that! Great imagery. Quite the ornate little guy isn’t he! Cheers to you~
What a beautiful bird! Seeing your photos is such a treat.
Awwww. That keeps me posting!
Oh my, what a gorgeous bird! Blessings, Natalie 🙂
He doesn’t even have to put on makeup!
What a stunning outfit he’s wearing! Love the curls too. 🙂
I know, these vain toucans are too much!!!!
That is one pretty bird, Cindy. –Curt
Darn him, it’s all natural too!
Wow, what a great photo set and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for appreciating them!
I love him, what a doll!
He had such a sweet personality too which you can see in the last shot!
amazing, Cindy! He looks as if he has ribbon curls on his head…made from actual ribbons!!
I know and he does it without a mirror! Go figure……..
The curls on his head remind me of Christmas ribbons…
Yes the kind you curl with scissors!!
Such an interesting hairdo…built in hair curlers!
When I lived in San Diego, I loved going to the zoo.
I had a season pass, but back then….I had no camera.
I had season passes when my kids were little, and now we have them again! Such fun~
So gorgeous Cindy
Lucky little guy!! No prep time for him darn him~
I never have met or see a Toucan and thank you dear Cindy presented it to me 🙂 !
For you ma deah, anything!!! Hugz~
A fascinating fellow!! 🙂
Bet he dazzles all the ladies!

I am sure he does! Laughing. In the bird kingdom, it is the males who dress up to impress the females. The females are silent judges, picking what they choose. Sort of a refreshing difference. Stay safe and well my friend დ
