The toucan is none of these. It is one of the funniest looking kinds of birds out there, and that includes the kiwi, the ostrich, and the flamingo. A toucan has a huge beak, some of them as long as their body. This New World bird is one fascinating creature, not only for its beak and bright colors, but also for the way it lives and does things. Not all birds are alike, after all.
