Complete Answer: Toucans are a type of bird which belongs to the Ramphastidae family. Their average life span is up to 20 years. Toucans are known for its large colourful bills. Its bill accounts for half of its length and is composed of lightweight bone covered with keratin, similar to human nails.
Toucans can weigh up to 2 pounds and grow about 25 inches with their bill accounting for half of its length. The bill is used to tear apart its food and is more of a show than actual use. Toucans hop more than they fly and feed themselves either individually or in small flocks. These birds are amongst the noisiest species in the forest. Their skills include harsh cloaks, bugling calls and loud barks. Toucans are nonmigratory birds except the mountain Toucans who migrate seasonally up and down the Andes mountain in search of food.
