HOW TOUCANS ROOST Nothing could be more eccentric to our eyes, than the way in which toucans go to roost. The bird does not "tuck its head under its win::, poor thing !" and so settle down, hut packs itself up in .most orderly fashion. The tail is turned forward o' or the back, in the soft feathers of which the gigantic bill is hidden. Then the tail shuts down ; all resembtnice ol a bird is lost, awl one can see nothing but a ball of feathers.
