The oversized mine

The bird with this oversized beak every time you eat fruit looks awkward to miserable. His neck must be strong to support the heavy beak, but knowing how to do it when it was created made him suffer 'that debt'.

However, thanks to this debt, its relatives are well known throughout the Americas, the common name for this bird is the toucan, scientific name Ramphastos sulphuratus . If you look carefully, they will see their beaks shaped like two boats facing each other, the 'boat' edges are jagged and not smooth like the mines of other birds. The big mine is 'flashy makeup' in red, black, blue, yellow. The idea of ​​being colorless is useless, but it really benefits: the hawks see it to be afraid!

' Boat toucan birds ' live in tree holes, often meeting small families, eating large fruits and insects. The feathers of the toucan bird are black, there is a large yellow feather on the head, neck and upper part of the chest; Their legs are strong with two front and two rear nails.

Ramphastos sulphuratus is a large bird (body length) The adult male is about 0.5 meters long), because the long tail is short so they fly very awkward. They have a rather loud cry, yet this 'colorful' bird often screams loudly in the forest, so it has been labeled as a 'talkative bird'.

Interestingly, every mother toucan spawns three eggs at a time, both females and females take turns brooding for 16 days. The newly born baby was completely naked without any fluff, three weeks after the birth of a new young bird, it opened its eyes to the world around it. It was all over the nest, waiting for the parents to catch the bait. The young bird stays in the nest like that for 44-50 days before going out to live an independent life.

This exotic bird is mainly distributed in the land from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.
