Finally, there is the life cycle cost, or how much a roof will cost you over the years. A shake roof may start out at around $12,500, but after a 40 year cycle the cost of the roof can rise to almost $45,000 when you calculate in maintenance and repairs, a yearly cost of over $800.
Toucan is tropical bird, best known by its large, colorful bill. There are 40 different species of toucans that are widely distributed in Mexico, Central America, South America, and Caribbean.
Toucans are found in tropical and subtropical forests in Central and South America. In Costa Rica, these flamboyant birds can be spotted in Carara National Park, Tortuguero, Manuel Antonio National Park, and many parts of the Central Valley and Guanacaste Province. Toucans are vocal birds, shrieking loudly as they fly in staggered flocks of 3 to 15 individuals.
