Witnessing an adult male Great Spotted Woodpecker diligently feeding its young in Oisterwijk is truly heartwarming. Perched on a mossy branch, a Keel-billed toucan captivates us with its mesmerizing beauty amidst the lush greenery of the rainforest. In Rio de Janeiro's Atlantic Rainforest, an Ariel toucan gracefully sits on a branch, showcasing nature's artistry at its finest.
