Fourteen keel-billed toucans seized from smugglers at the US-Mexico border have completed rehabilitation and will now live at the Bronx Zoo, where they'll help educate the public about wildlife trafficking and conservation efforts. The birds, rescued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service at the Otay Mesa port of entry in California, have been given a second chance to thrive while raising awareness about illegal wildlife trade.
