sends word that an agreement was reached between Kellogg (the manufacturer of products for breakfast very good), Maya Archaeology Initiative (unrelated with with breakfast items). As you may recall (and this will certainly help link), Kellogg disagreed with the use of a toucan on its logo AMI, AMI despite the Toucan Toucan looked like a real instead of a pusher grains too busy.
