Keel billed toucan, Ramphastos sulfuratus, outside his nest carrying a fruit in his beak for his chicks. Toucans, parrots and macaws don't build conventional nest as other birds using leaves, straw, little sticks, etc. but they nest in natural cavities they find in trees, where they lay the eggs. It is believed they use the same nest over and over. Belize, Central America. Nikon D2X, Sigma 300-800mm, f/5.6
