This book covers in unmatched detail the life history, relationships, biology, and conservation of all the world's toucans, barbets, and honeyguides. These number 133 species, found in tropical regions around the world. The toucans are especially well-known because of their dramatic bills and their association with the Amazon rainforest. The colour plates, painted by well- known US artist Albert Earl Gilbert, are probably the best paintings of these birds ever produced.

For many years the Amazon rainforest had been attacked by the invaders. They illegally cut the trees for the economical advancement. They also slash and burn the soil barren, unfertile and unproductive. The animals are being neglected by their ruthless act. If captured alive, they are imprisoned in cages, dragged out the forest to be illegally sold at the cities outside markets. Morjah, a respected toucan is the new elected keeper of the jungle. With special power, he trains as much birds as he can in an attempt to sweep evil out of the forest. Morjah only starts to see change when his fostered parrot he named Xavier becomes mature and takes the forest destruction into a new level. A war is declared, the forest is divided in two worlds. On one side are the defenders led by Morjah the other are the destroyers led by an evil envy creature. Who will wins the battle? Will the good guys be able to sweep evil out of the forest for good?
