Can you say "T" for Toucan. Toucans range in size from 18 to 63 cm (from 7 to 25 in). Their body is short and thick and the tail is rounded. The tail varies in length from half the length to the whole length of the body. The neck is short and thick while at the base of the head is a huge, brightly-colored beak that measures in some large species, more than half the length of the body. The legs of a Toucan are strong and rather short. Their toes are arranged in pairs with the first and fourth toe turned backward. Both males and females are the same color. The feathers in the genus containing the largest are generally colored black, with touches of white, yellow, and scarlet. They are fruit-eating, but will take insects and other small prey such as small lizards. They nest in tree holes laying 2–4 white eggs. The young hatched are completely naked, without any down. They are resident breeders and do not migrate. Toucans are usually found in pairs or small flocks. Do you remember the Tookie, Tookie? That was George's pet Toucan from George of the Jungle.
