Toucans

Everyone coming to the American Tropics wants to see a toucan. They are among the most colorful and bizarre-looking birds in the forest, making for one of the most prized sightings to birdwatchers. But toucans are more than just beautiful! This is everything you need to know about toucans:

Certainly, the most famous feature toucans have is their long, colorful, and thick bills. Some species even have bills longer than their bodies.
