Well, I paid another visit to the aviary at the Santa Ana Zoo in california. I saw these couple of green birds hanging with each other. Weather was nice, but then turned to a windy cold kind of day. At least for us californians...:) . Please C/C...

First shot was cropped to remove a tree on the right, but not much.

Cool looking bird with lots of nice details especially in the first shot. That is one menacing looking beak:shock:

That is what is was! I knew it had to do with toucan, because of the head/beak ratio...:) Thanks for the comments.
