The quail, guans, ducks and pheasant are hunted for their meat. A Spanish version of the following article appeared in the 9/4/11 edition of the Honduran publication, La Tribuna.

There were birds to watch but they were the gulls and ducks on the river, the sparrows in the fields, the finches that came to the feeder, the beautiful American Kestrel on the roadside wire. Toucans were something else entirely and we couldn’t even see them at the local zoo. Want to see toucans in Costa Rica?

Strangely, the photo accompanying the Wikipedia entry on Collared Finchbills , Asian birds, was taken at Cincinnati zoo. I wonder what Americans would think if, in a Wikipedia entry, a Bald Eagle would be illustrated using a photo taken at an Albanian zoo. The one for bird photographers (a Spot-billed Duck ) is shown below.
