Toucans
Toucans are very beautiful and colorful birds. In fact, there are 37 different species of toucans that all live in South America.

This gorgeous bird usually lives in flocks and can grow up to 25 inches long and about 20 ounces. Also, their beaks are between 6 and 8 inches long.

Mother toucans lay 2-4 eggs at a time, and the eggs hatch in about 8-9 weeks. Toucans are omnivores, which means they eat foods such as, nuts, fruit, plants, and berries. These birds tend to be extremely noisy in the jungle and because of their bright colors are easy to pick out.
