My Own Way of Eating

Canaima National Park · Venezuela

I photographed this toucan in Canaima National Park, where I watched it use its enormous bill with surprising precision while feeding among the trees.

While travelling through Canaima National Park in Venezuela, I had the chance to watch toucans feeding high among the trees. What caught my attention was the way they handled food with such precision — picking it up with the tip of the bill, tossing it into the air and swallowing it in one quick movement. I photographed this bird during one of those moments, fascinated by how such an oversized and colourful bill can be used with remarkable control.
