Softbills Whoever named this group of birds "softbills" was obviously never close enough to be pinched by a toucan or speared by a heron's beak! Members of this group vary considerably. here you will find everything from turacos that feed exclusivly on leaves and petals to carnivores kingfishers. However, one thing all have in common is that as babies, they are all born helpless and dependent on their parents care. Softbill Species:
