This one's just goofy.

According to Nat Geo, this rare smiling bird is "the rare recurve-billed bushbird", spotted recently in Colombia after a 40-year absence. Its curved-upward beak gives him the illusion of a smile, but we prefer to think he's just happy to see us.

This is in fact the first time this bird has been photographed! So it's a really rare beast.
