Oil on canvas panel. 8 × 10 inches. I have always been fascinated by Toucans with their large multicolored beak! Out of curiosity, I googled how these birds got their name: The name "toucan" originates from the Tupi language spoken by indigenous people in Brazil. It is derived from the word "tucano" (or "tukana"). This word was adopted into Portuguese and subsequently into other languages, including English, where it became "toucan".
