A nice bit of news...for a change!

"Dr Lucas Cazati, from the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wild Animals (CRAS), said in a statement: "The toucan arrived young and with a dented upper beak.

"As the bird had great difficulty in feeding, we waited for it to reach adulthood to be able to print a beak compatible with its weight and size."

The statement added: "The prosthesis, made of special filament for this purpose, was produced on a 3D printer donated by naturologist Richard Rasmussen.

"Today, the toucan eats well, behaves well and continues to be observed and cared for."
