One of the most well known birds in the Amazon
Rainforest is the toucan. The call of the toucan is said to
resemble the croak of a frog, and it can be heard up to half
a mile. Although toucans are heard all the time in the Amazon,
they are rarely seen because they stay mostly high in the
canopy.

The diet of the toucan consists mainly of
fruits, berries, and seeds. On average, toucans are around
sixty centimeters long. After much intense research by many
different scientists, the function of the toucan’s large
bill is a mystery. Toucans are known to easily adapt to human
invaded environments. They are often seen as pets in homes
or at tourist attractions.
