Due to the sheer size of the beak, it would be sensible to think it weighs a fair amount but actually, due to the little air holes, the beak is actually quite light.

Remote Sens 11:1703 You’ll often use to when you want to indicate a relationship between words such as possession, attachment, or addition. You get attached to people, you have things that belong to you. To is also used to indicate a range or a period of time, like when you say finishing something will take you five to ten minutes. These are intelligent birds that thrive when they have a variety of toys, puzzle feeders, and a positive reinforcement training program. Zookeepers feed them a variety of fruit, insects, and the occasional small mammal or egg. Behavior of the Toucan

Different species of these birds have different reproductive strategies, but they are quite similar in their behavior and development rate. All species nest within cavities in the trunks of trees. Toucans are highly social and most species occur in groups of up to 20 or more birds for most of the time. Pairs may retire from the groups during the breeding season, then return with their offspring after the breeding season. Larger groups may form during irruptions, migration or around a particularly large fruiting tree.

J Geophys Res Atmos 102:21383–21399 The toucans are, due to their unique appearance, among the most popular and well known birds in the world. [10] Across their native range they were hunted for food and also kept as pets, and their plumage and bills were used for decorations. In some places anyone that discovers a nest is deemed its owner and is entitled to sell the birds within. [ citation needed] In the western world they were first popularised by John Gould, who devoted two editions to a detailed monograph of the family. [10] The constellation Tucana, containing most of the Small Magellanic Cloud, is named after the toucan. Most species of Toucans have healthy populations, but that does not mean we don’t put them in danger. Particularly in certain regions, humans are destroying rainforest at an alarming rate. Without their rainforest habitat, populations of these special birds decline.

J Clim 19:5190–5226 The toucan doesn’t actually use its wings to fly very far. Due to their tiny size, the wings act more like a glider to take them short distances, preferring to hop tree to tree rather than fly. This bird symbolizes exotic creatures for so many people, myself included, and its enormous beak only makes it more tropical. The toucan is etched into Totem poles as a symbol of showmanship and communication according to Native American tribes. To is a preposition and a versatile little word that can be used to say many things. You can use it to indicate a goal or a direction of movement, as well as a place of arrival. That’s the way you use it when you say you’re going to class tomorrow. To also plays a role when we want to form the infinitive of a verb (that’s what the to before form in this sentence is doing).Putri NS, Hayasaka T, Whitehall KD (2017) The properties of mesoscale convective systems in indonesia detected using the grab ‘Em Tag ‘Em Graph ‘Em (GTG) algorithm.
