Ah the end of Marchirp, I really enjoyed it!! Here’s the final ones, some are a little funky due to the motivation fizzling a bit but I’m pretty happy with them. Barred owl!!! My favorite because owl, but also because I have a stuffed owl I’ve had for forever and it’s very much just a vague owl but I’ve considered it a barred owl and I’m very attached

thanks to @elliottnotyet for creating this challenge! I loved it very much!

BOTD: Keel-billed Toucan

Photo: Doug Greenberg

"The Keel-billed Toucan is a social species, seen in canopy-foraging flocks of six to 22 individuals. The birds roost and nest in natural or woodpecker-created tree cavities. Several toucans often share the same small space, fitting inside by tucking their bills beneath their wings and their tails over their backs. In flight, they labor along on broad, heavy wings, their big bills thrust straight forward. One bird guide described a Keel-billed Toucan in flight as resembling a bird 'pushing a banana.'"

Prompt 14: Scales

The Keel-Billed Roly Poly

For the scales prompt, I leaped up to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 23, featuring the Roly Poly and the Keel-Billed Toucan.

While the Keel-Billed Roly Poly has many aesthetically avian features, it is a wingless, flightless creature. Its armor-like scales bend around the body as it moves and allow it to shield itself inside a hollow or other space where it can curl up and evade predators.

Color Vision:

While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is similar to a Keel-Billed Toucan, with black coloring on its antennae and the scales a glossy black with red, again pulling some color inspiration from the toucan. Side note: To learn more about the inspiration behind this series, please check out the captions in any of my first three hybrid animals from this month!

Creature 39

Keel-billed toucan

Keel-billed toucan also known as sulfur-breasted toucan, keel toucan, or rainbow-billed toucans are a tropical Latin American bird, that lives solely in trees. They make their nests in hollowed out areas of tree trunk made by other animals. Unlike other birds, when the young hatch, they don’t have any feathers yet.

Animal of the Day!

Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus)

(Photo by Rolando Jordan)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- Central America; Northern South America

Size (Weight/Length)- 500 g; 50 cm

Diet- Fruits; Lizards; Eggs; Insects; Bird eggs

Cool Facts- Despite being one-third of the keel-billed toucan’s body, their bill is relatively light. The bill is made up of keratin and is used for a mix of fruit gathering, courtship, and heat regulation. Living in small flocks, the keel-billed toucan spends their days flying from tree to tree in search of ripe fruit. When fruit is in short supply, they snatch lizards from trees and eggs from nests. During the breeding season, males and females pair up and split off from their main flock. The bigger the male’s bill, the more likely a female picks him for the season. Both mom and dad incubate the eggs and raise the chicks, of which are completely helpless until about three weeks old when their eyes open. The chicks stay with their parents for about nine weeks before fledging and seeking a flock of their own. 

Rating- 12/10 (Built in air conditioning.)
