Grecia was born in the wild in or around Grecia, one of the cantons of Costa Rica, in approximately March 2014. The toucan was beaten by youths, and its top beak broke off.[1] Government officials transported the bird to the animal rescue center Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center (formerly Rescate Animal Zoo Ave), west of the city of Alajuela.[2] A few 3D printing companies joined efforts to create a prosthetic beak which was successfully attached to Grecia. The bird received its name from the town of Grecia where it was picked up by city officials. Grecia passed away in January 2022, per Zoo Ave employees. [3]
