40 different species of toucans live in the Neotropics. They don a bright colorful appearance with a large bill and an attitude which exhibits a strong desire to be seen and heard. They thrive on fruit, insects, eggs, lizards and small birds. Toucans don’t migrate and live in flocks of 6-12 in altitudes as high as 6200 feet. These birds can live 20-26 years in the wild.
