    Haha! Toucans in their natural habitat are known to eat peppers, especially Cumari (C. praetermissum/C. rabenii), but this time my peppers were safe, I think the palm fruits were more appetizing for him! 😁

    First time I see a toucan here where I live, it is very rare to see them in urbanized regions, he was eating the fruits of a palm tree planted between the streets in front of my house! Beautiful bird! 😍

    These are some of the few wild species I got this season It's not much but that's what I got! I had no difficulty growing them however the success of seed germination was quite inconsistent, some seeds have been in the seedling tray for almost 1 year and I will probably discard them! 😞 Capsicum...
