The toucan lives in flocks and moves all the time, screams, squeaks and even barks, so much so that the popular name of one of the species is “dog toucan”. All toucans have a long, beautiful beak. The heartless hunter usually removes the toucan's beak to keep it as a trophy. However, what he has most beautiful is a kind of "bib" with pale feathers that he wears on his chest.
To eat, the toucan picks up the berries with the tip of its beak, turns its head up and lets the fruits slide down its throat, _________ always spits out the stone.
