About Channel Billed Toucan

The Channel Billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus) is an arboreal near-passerine bird found in forest and woodland areas. Its large bill, over 18 cm in length, helps to regulate body temperature but is also used to reach for food and break open nests of birds. This bird rarely flies for more than 100 metres at a time and prefers to bounce from branch to branch.
