Toucan is a tropical bird, known for my colourful bill. It is found in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Its body is covered with black feathers, except the throat and part of my head, which are covered in white or yellow feathers. Its bill is made of keratin and is lightweight. While its size may deter predators, it is of little use in fighting them.
Scientists think the bill helps in elimination of excess body heat. And the bill’s serrated edges are useful for peeling fruit.
It makes grunting and snoring sounds, often compared to the croaking of frogs.
Its nest in tree cavities and usually lay two to four eggs, which both parents take turns incubating.
