Toucans are members of the family Ramphastidae of near passerine birds from the Neotropics. The Ramphastidae family is most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often colorful bills.
An Aracari, one of the Toucans in Pamama. I was able to get the closeup because this one had been caught in a mist net set up by a bird bander. Photo circa 1974

Grab the Doc off the street and give him a nose job just as bad. Show him toucan play at that game.

Was there an image as well as a link on that post, eldo? It looks like Tripod.com is self-promoting!

He’s glad now that Dr. Mandrill and Dr. Proboscis gave him a reference.

Dr. Proboscis? That’s Jimmy Durante! No wonder he got a toucan nose. I’ll bet Groucho Marx put him up to it.
