"The Toucan, in ornithology, is the popular name of any bird of the genus Rhamphastos.

In the true toucans the ground color of the plumage is generally black; the throat, breast, and rump adorned with white, yellow, and red; the body is short and thick; tail rounded or even, varying in length in the different species, and capable of being turned up over the back when the bird goes to roost."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
