BOTD: Keel-billed Toucan

"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.'"

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.)
