Bird mites are tiny, blood-sucking parasites that irritate and weaken birds. We want to show you what it looks like.
In the picture, a Yellow-throated toucan was found and brought to the Sanctuary for some locals. We gave it a medical checkup, and it had many tiny mites on its feathers.

Nos interesa enseñar la importancia que cada animal tiene en el bosque y los perezosos 🦥 no son la excepción. Gracias a @vortexcostarica por el excelente equipo que nos permitió adquirir para poder mostrar estos animales en su hábitat natural.
