Fact Keel-Billed Toucan Bird Facts - Ramphastos sulfuratus - A-Z ...The Keel-billed Toucan's huge, colorful bill looks heavy but is actually lightweight and hollow, used for reaching fruit, cooling down, and even playing "fruit ball" with other toucans, which often sleep piled together in tree holes, folding their bills onto their backs to fit. This tropical bird, also called the Rainbow-billed Toucan, is the national bird of Belize, known for its loud, frog-like calls and social behavior, often traveling in flocks.
