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.

It is skull? If anything, it is beak

They probably could have determined this without beheading the poor critter.

[-] c0ber@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] thefrankring@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Classic example of big mouth and no brain.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

Why isn't the skull just as colorful as the beak at this point???

[-] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Much less practical to show off your skull coloration when you're trying to get laid.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Look like a peanut 🥜

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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...
