Birds Toucan Stands On Bananas In Costa Rica
A keel-billed toucan stands on bananas at a bird feeder near Boca Tapada in the San Carlos canton of Alajuela province, Costa Rica, on July 1, 2026. Known for its oversized, multicolored bill in shades of green, orange, red, and blue, the keel-billed toucan is the national bird of Belize and one of the most iconic species of the Central American rainforest. The species feeds primarily on fruit and is commonly attracted to feeding stations throughout its range, which extends from southern Mexico to northern Colombia and Venezuela. Costa Rica covers just 0.03 percent of Earth's landmass yet harbors nearly 5 percent of all species estimated to exist on the planet, making it one of the most biodiverse countries in the world.
