Why he might be annoying:

    He originally sported drab gray feathers, had a makeover, then sported vibrant blue feathers.
    His ‘wannabe famous’ nephews often try to steal his commercial spotlight.
    He had a nose job during the 1970’s to shorten his beak.
    The best piece of advice he can give to your children: ‘Follow your nose.’
    The Kellogg Company sued Toucan Golf, Inc., claiming their toucan mascot, Toucan Gold, was a trademark violation that would confuse consumers (2003).
