They are frugivorous, piscivorous, and insectivorous.

Anatomy

While mostly black-feathered, the toucan puffin has a white belly and a blue breast with white spots around the eyes. Its most distinctive feature is its large, colorful beak banded in red with a black tip.

Behavior

The toucan puffin is known to be extremely friendly but also lazy. While it has the ability to fly, it rarely ever does so, preferring to spend most of the day sleeping or hunting for food on the ground. It can commonly be seen on rocks in coastal areas, usually near the caverns where its primary food source, the cavehopper, often resides. They also eat fruits, using their beaks to crack open fruit shells. Toucan puffins readily allow humans to approach them, having learned that they are fed by others when appearing friendly.

Toucan puffins use their colorful beaks to attract mates. They also nest for them.

Connection

The toucan puffin is based on the toucan, in regards to its large and colorful beak, and the puffin, with its black and white plumage.

Trivia

• When Sokka mentioned that Team Avatar was in enemy territory, he called a group of toucan puffins "enemy birds".
