"3 Toucans on Yellow"
20 in. x 24 in.

The toucan's bill is amazingly dexterous,
allowing the bird to feed on a variety of
tropical fruit.  Keel-billed toucans are a very
social bird and can often be seen in flocks
of six or more birds  They are found
throughout Belize's forests nesting in holes
in tree trunks. Toucans lay one to four eggs.
The parent birds take turns incubating the
eggs. The Toucan displays a rapid, heavy
flapping of the wings when flying and calls
with a creek creek sound, similar to a frog.
Toucans are primarily fruit eaters, feeding
on a variety of tropical fruits. It feeds by
snipping off the fruit and flipping its head
back to gulp. Toucans also feed on insects,
lizards, snakes and the eggs of smaller birds.
