Ma spoon is too big
I am a bananaaaaa!
you have made my day, thank you
That one guy at work that "knows everything."
I got to pet one once, he closed his beak on my fingers but because of how long the break is, he couldn't apply real pressure. It was pretty interesting to feel a bird play with your fingers who couldn't actually hurt you.
This is compared to my little conures who instinctively nip out of fright if my partner pulls back the shower curtain in the other room haha. Ah... My poor fingers.
For anyone else interested, here is an Interesting Wikipedia read on the composition and properties of toco toucan beaks.
Where brain?
Just a little guy.
Not much brain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is skull? If anything, it is beak
Classic example of big mouth and no brain.
They probably could have determined this without beheading the poor critter.
it would be unscientific to not make sure
It was natural causes.
Wooden sticks are natural, being hit by a stick could be classified as natural causes.
Heart failure. Coincidentally right after the decapitation.
He's pining for the fjords.
Why isn't the skull just as colorful as the beak at this point???
Much less practical to show off your skull coloration when you're trying to get laid.
Look like a peanut 🥜
Ya know, I could have happily lived the rest of my life without knowing that and thinking of it every single time I'll be seeing a toucan from now on, but noooo...
No.
