Toucans usually breed annually in the wild, but have been reported breeding multiple times a year in captivity. Females lay two to four eggs, which are incubated by both parents for 17–18 days, after which they hatch. [11] Chicks can be detected by the loud begging calls they make in the absence of their parents. [3]
Toucans are arboreal and typically lay two to four white eggs in their nests. They make their nests in tree hollows and holes excavated by other animals such as woodpeckers—the toucan bill has very limited use as an excavation tool. When the eggs hatch, the young emerge completely naked, without any down.

The female keel-billed toucan will lay 1–4 white eggs in a natural or already-made tree cavity. [10] The male and female share in the caring of the eggs, both taking turns incubating. [8] The eggs hatch approximately 15–20 days after being laid. After hatching, the male and female again take turns feeding the chicks.
An aracari or araçari (US: / ˌ ɑːr ə ˈ s ɑːr i / AR-ə-SAR-ee, [1] UK: / ˌ ær ə ˈ s ɑːr i / ARR-ə-SAR-ee, /-ˈ k ɑːr i /- KAR-ee) [2] is any of the medium-sized toucans that, together with the saffron toucanet, make up the genus Pteroglossus. They are brightly plumaged and have enormous, contrastingly patterned bills.
The chestnut-mandibled toucan is a resident breeder in moist lowland forest. The 2–4 white eggs are laid in an unlined cavity high in a decayed section of a living tree, or occasionally in an old woodpecker nest in a dead tree. Both sexes incubate the eggs for at 14–15 days, and the toucan chicks remain in the nest after hatching.
The theory gained steam on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter in recent weeks, with some users reporting that their hens stopped laying eggs and speculating that common chicken feed products were the cause.
