The sender is a new resident of Vancouver. Her card is a part of a Wild Animals of the World series.
The bird pictured is a Toco Toucan Ramphastos toco. They are native to South America. Their beaks are full of blood vessels that make the beak seem to glow red and yellow. The beak is important to help regulate the bird's body temperature. If the toucan gets too cold, it can put its beak under its wings to retain heat.
