Do toucans fly. Toco toucans feed either individually or in small flocks in the canopy. The legs of the toucan are strong and rather short. However the bills of female toucans are usually shorter deeper.
Toco toucans also occasionally eat the eggs of other birds. The majority of toucans do not show any sexual dimorphism in their coloration the genus selenidera being the most notable exception to this rule hence their common name dichromatic toucanets. Their toes are arranged in pairs with the first and fourth toes turned backward.
