List of Birds That Start With T

Toucan
Ramphastos toco
The largest toucan species, a Central and South American fruit-eater with a striking oversized orange bill that serves as a thermal radiator as well as a feeding tool.

Treecreeper
Certhia familiaris
A tiny, mouse-like bird that spirals methodically up tree trunks probing crevices for insects with its long, curved bill — always ascending, never descending, flying to the base of a new tree to start over; its brown and white bark-pattern plumage makes it nearly invisible on oak and ash bark.

Turkey
Meleagris gallopavo
A large North American gamebird domesticated by Indigenous Americans, surviving through the European-introduced Christmas-and-Thanksgiving traditions, with wild populations recovering to abundance after near-extinction.
