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 . The family includes five genera and about forty different species . The name of this bird group is derived from the Tupi word tukana, viaPortuguese .[1] The family includes toucans, aracaris and toucanets; more distant relatives include various families of barbets and woodpeckers in the suborder Pici .
Toucans are native to Southern Mexico, Central America, the northern portion of South America, and the Caribbean region. They generally live in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They make their nests in tree hollows and holes excavated by other animals such as woodpeckers —the toucan bill has very limited use as an excavation tool.

Beautiful piece. It looks very realistic. I can almost see it flying away.
