The keel-billed toucan, Ramphastos sulfuratus , is a South American bird with a huge beak. This social bird lives in small flocks in lowland rainforests. It is a poor flyer, and moves mostly by hopping around trees.
Toucans roost in holes in trees.
The toucan's enormous bill is up to one-third of its length. The bill is brightly colored, lightweight, and edged with toothed margins. Males are slightly larger than females, but their coloration is similar. Toucan eat mostly fruit, but also eat bird eggs, insects, and tree frogs. The eggs are laid in a hollow tree cavity.
