The Toucan, Rockstar of the Rainforest!

The Toucan is a rainforest icon, He is the Rock Star of the Jungle. There are at least a dozen species and several smaller Toucanettes He lives in Central and South America. They have huge colorful bills and beautiful plumage. The body is relatively robust and the Toucan's wings are short and rounded, thus they are a poor flyer, and moves about primarily by hopping. When it tries to lift off, its flight is undulating, with the bird rising with a few quick wing beats and descending on a short glide.

Come meet the Toucan and see what makes him special. Beautiful Color!

Civil War Bullet Collecting

Another reason is that the time of the Civil War saw changes taking place in the development of firearms and ammunition. The old round musketballs of the Revolution were being replaced with bullets in the shape we are accustomed to. While musketballs are found on Civil War battlefields, the most common type of bullet used was the .58-caliber bullet with three rings around the base. Many bullets found are splattered out of shape. If you've always been fascinated by the Civil War and firearms, Civil War bullet collecting is a hobby you will enjoy.

Anger Management in Children

K ids are normally very open with regards to sharing feelings and emotions. A child may be burdened with feelings of pain and guilt but you may never learn it from a conversation.

A child's feelings are usually displayed in their behavior. When a child is sad they may keep to themselves or have little to say. When a child feels guilty they may avoid people and stay in their room. When a child is angry they may break their toys, scream or throw a tantrum.

Children are not always verbal about their emotions but actions often speak much louder than words.

This Lens explores some of the ramifications of that anger.
