Powwow, the great hornbill skull replica, dared all of his friends to come with him to go skinny dipping.

Tango, the toco toucan skull replica, was the first one in the cool lake. He said it was so refreshing while floating past on his back unashamed of his nakedness.

Asparagus, the green-billed toucan skull replica, climbed up on the highest rock and did a massive cannonball that completely drenched the entire dock.

Red, the scarlet macaw skull replica, came running in the water like a bull running from a butcher. She tripped and fell into the deep cool water laughing all the way.
