Flocks of Toucans Song (Tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Fly, little flock. Fly high and low.
Fly really fast; then fly really slow.
Fly in a circle, then land on your feet.
hop, hop, hop, and take a seat!
Three Toco Toucans Rhyme
Three Toco toucans sitting in a tree. (Hold 3 fingers)
The first one turned and squawked at me!
The second one said, “I flap my wings, watch me go!”(Flap your wings.)
The third one said, “My colorful beak, I can open so!”(one hand is the bill opening and closing.)
