THE TOuCAN.~


A Queer South American Bird With an Eek.
traordinarily Large Bill.
A queer kind is the toucan. It seems
to have been made expressly to take
charge of its huge banana shaped beak,
which, in some species, is fully inches
in length and more than inches in
width-entirely out Of proportion to it's
comparatively small body. This beak
is the most brilliant possession of the
toucan, being orange and black, scarlet
and yellow or green and red, according
to the species of the bird.
Its home is in the wild South Ameri-
can woods, where, mingled with the
screaming Of parrots, macaws and other
tropical birds, is heard it's monotonous
cry, "Tucano, tucanop' from which
its name is probably derived 1t is a
fruit eater, and climbing among the
branches it gathers its food with its
long beak, whose strength no stem can
resist.
The toucan nests in trees, and it is
uncertain whether it excavates its bur-
row or builds in a natural cavity.
Nothing more comical can be imagined
than the head of this creature, with its
sparkling eyes and enormous, gayly col
ored beak, appearing from hollow in
the trunk of some forest monarch. 1t is
said that the young birds are subject to
the attacks of monkeys and birds of
prey, and that when the parent bird is
alarmed all she has to do is to poke her
head out of the aperture leading to the
nest. The assailant, seeing so huge a
bill, fancies an animal of corresponding
size behind it and leaves, without bow.
ing Or saying farewell.
Toucans are sociable birds and go in
large fiocks. They make common cause
against their enemies, such as owls and
falcons, which they surround and mob,
as the rocks do in England. Having
thus no need for protection, they are
noisy and clamorous, like parrots and
monkeys
The plumage is generally black, but
the throat is white, tinged with yellow
and commonly edged beneath with red.
The tail is nearly square or moderately
rounded, with the upper feathers rec
and the lower scarlet. Alterations o.
the brighter colors are displayed in thu
feathers of the throat, the breast ant
the tail.
The bird is kept easily in confine
ment, and no doubt from early time
many were brought alive to Europe
Some of its brilliant tints are very fleet
ing, and they often leave little or nj
trace after death, SO that little idea o
its beauty can be obtained from stuffe'
specimen. n.--Philadelphia Times.

the Hebrew type. Take notice of the

Whether their selection canI withstand
