It's actually called a Toucan in English, as a quick trip to Wikipedia assured to me :P

Quick opinion: Looks too desaturated for an exotic bird, and also I think you use too many colors.

From the seemingly random placement of dark pixels, it looks as if its beak was worn down and its feathers were all ruffled from contact with water or something

Tried cleaning it up a bit. Also changed head position and some of the details. I don't know if you are going for spot on realism, but always use a reference (https://www.google.com/search?q=toucan&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=esn9UdzuC8_j4AO3wYH4DA&biw=1366&bih=666&sei=g8n9Ub2OH7Oi4AO1nIHIAQ#um=1&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=toco+toucan&oq=toco+toucan&gs_l=img.3..0l10.6757.7752.0.8422.5.5.0.0.0.0.208.440.4j0j1.5.0....0...1c.1.23.img..2.3.183.6U976vh0ouE&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50165853,d.dmg&fp=1dced0a2ab141315&biw=1366&bih=666).

Looking back, I made the beak way too small, but its a rough edit and its late. May redo the edit tomorrow.
