Hopper the Red Billed Toucan

Also known as White Throated Toucans these birds live high in the canopy and hop from branch to branch in the search for food.

 

Male and female toucans have the same plumage, although the male's bill is larger than the female's.

 

The Toucan's diet consists mostly of fruit and seeds, although they wil occasionally catch insects, lizards and small birds as well.

 

Toucans have bristly tongues and are very noisy birds!
