What a lovely world we live in. Same as Nell's Ecuadorean The Green Billed Toucan, or Red Breasted Toucan (ramphastos dicolorus)   |

What an amazing menagerie. Here are some ptarmigan from Newfoundland  I have to admit, that little red kiwi stamp from New Zealand has always been one of my favourites. The birds down under all seem soooo exotic. But we have some interesting fowl here in Canada too.  These have become quite rare.  |

Ptarmigan "Newfoundland Sport"  Interesting bird, prefers running to flying. With Darwin in mind, possibly an example where a bird would become flightless, given time (and hunters didn't blast it to bits) |
