Animal

Toucan is a very unique bird that lives in South America. This bird is said to be a very beaked, colorful and very memorable bird. Many species live on trees and do not land on the ground. This toucan has a very large habitat, but its population is steadily decreasing. This is due to human deforestation, and there are no more habitable areas.

Habitat

Toucan is a bird that lives in South America.

Characteristics

The toucan has a total length of 30–60 cm, and when it is large, it can reach up to 70 cm. The beak is the biggest feature, there are various colors, and it is very huge. It is covered with thin keratin, hollow inside and has a lot of bone support. The reason why the beak has become larger is unknown, but there is a theory that it is easier to pick up the fruit at the tip of a thin branch. The large beak also acts as a “radiator”, allowing heat to escape from the body through the tiny blood vessels inside the beak. Most species live in the rainforest and live on trees. Toucan is vigilant and timid, so it may be hard to miss humans.

Ecology

Toucan mainly eat plants, but when there is nothing to eat, they eat reptiles and insects. During the breeding season, nests are built in tree hollows and lay eggs. During the incubation period, males and females take turns warming the eggs. Males and females take turns taking care of the chicks. Toucan is a long-lived bird in the wild, and some large ones live for nearly 50 years.

Endangered species

Although toucan is a bird that inhabits the South American continent widely, its habitat is decreasing. Toucan is a tropical rainforest habitat, but it is cut down by humans. The destruction of natural habitats, such as land development and agricultural land development, has been a major blow to toucans. Animals living in forest areas, not just toucan, have lost their way, being attacked by foreign enemies and being exterminated by humans. Overfishing is also a problem because toucans are also popular as pets.

Boarding

Breeding

Toucan can be kept as a pet, but it is expensive. Toucan is a bird that has a very large activity space and requires a vast space. In addition, it is not suitable for breeding in apartment buildings because it makes a loud noise. Therefore, it may not be very realistic for ordinary people to raise them. If you want to see toucan, go to the zoo or go to South America.
