Description
The Toco toucan is the largest of the toucans, being about 60 cm long and weighing 700 grammes. It is an very attractive bird, mainly black with a dusky brown throat and white upper breast. The upper tail coverts are white, the under tail is crimson. But it is the beak that everyone remembers the toucan for. In this species the beak can be 20 cm long and is yellow with a red keel and a large dark spot towards the tip. Despite the bright colours and bold pattern (or perhaps because of them), when the bird is sitting still in the dappled light of the forest, it is very hard to spot. That seems hard to believe this ones beak was lit up from behind by a sunbeam causing the beak to light up like a lamp! The Toco toucan is well known as the 'Guinness' bird in the Guiness advertising campaigns.
