Product Description

Toucans (Ramphastidae), the pepper-eaters, are a family of birds in the order Picidae with about 40 species in South and Central America. These birds have the largest beaks in relation to their body size, up to a third of their body. This large beak is used for thermoregulation[3], but can also have several other useful properties, such as helping with foraging, mate selection and scaring off enemies!
