Submitted by Robin Mann / UGC

A green-billed toucan, also known as the red-breasted toucan, at the Parque das Aves near Iguazu Falls in Brazil.

The privately owned Parque das Aves covers 40 acres of subtropical forest near Iguazu Falls in the state of Paran?, Brazil.

Rare and colorful birds fly about in the huge aviaries. Visitors can also see alligators, anacondas, pythons, marmosets and butterflies.

"The whole bird park was amazing, so many varieties of birds and butterflies unlike anything we have here in the states," Robin?Mann told TODAY.com. "You can walk into the aviaries and get very close to the birds displayed."

Mann?started the day hiking the trails around Iguazu Falls ? which is?on the UNESCO World Heritage List?? then?visited the bird park before the end of the day.
