How can a toucan fly with such a large, cumbersome beak? A toucan's beak is actually light as a feather due to its honeycomb construction. And not only is it beautiful, but it's an extremely useful tool in foraging for food. Find out this and more fascinating facts in this remarkable illustrated study of bird beaks. Learn about several different birds, their habitats, and how their beaks are uniquely styled to help them survive. Outstanding cut-paper illustrations create amazingly realistic tableaus of birds in their natural environments with their beaks in action.
