Toucans form strong bonds when paired off. The mother and father take turns sitting on their 2 to4 glossy white eggs. The eggs normally hatch up to 16 to 20 days. When the baby toucans hatch they are blind and naked, with no trace of down on there pink skins. Nestlings are fed by both parents, with increasing quantities of fruit. The feathers of the baby toucan don’t begin to expand until they are nearly 4 weeks old. Parents will care for there young for about 8 weeks. However baby toucans may fly from the nest when 43 days old.
