From the preface:
"The research concerning the Channel-billed Toucan, executed by José Felipe Monteiro Pereira and here represented in his photographic recordings, shows a work of great care and dedication to animal observation, being a technically perfect work, as much in methodological photography as in ethological techniques required in avifauna studies.
This study, resumed in the present work, while important and interesting source of knowledge and information about morphological, ecological and behavioral aspects, also represents a poetical record of beauty and of the incredible adaptive capability of this animal. The photographic recordings and the respective research compose a work to be felt. Ramphastos vitellinus is a bird to be contemplated."
