Apparently some people don't look at pictures of baby toucans when they feel low?
I feel terribly sorry for these people so here is an example of what you can see with a quick image search:
A noisy photo because the adults had tucked this fledgling into a very dark patch of forest -- probably we would never have noticed the little one if they didn't hover themselves & keep checking up 
"I have voted myself the most beautiful toucan, if not the most beautiful birb, fight me!"-- show-offy Fiery-billed Aracari

Special mention for the can-can #toucan in a can!
"Borb got style
Borb got grace
Borb flies straight down
And falls on face"
"wait a minute, tho, when the Peregrine dives straight down, I don't hear any snide poetry..."
Bro, don't be checking out my breakfast tree-- Collared Aracari
(other birds eating from this bunch of fruit included Scarlet-rumped Cacique & Keel-billed Toucan, none of whom like each other so they all approached individually)
