Finally, there is the life cycle cost, or how much a roof will cost you over the years. A shake roof may start out at around $12,500, but after a 40 year cycle the cost of the roof can rise to almost $45,000 when you calculate in maintenance and repairs, a yearly cost of over $800.
Toucan is tropical bird, best known by its large, colorful bill. There are 40 different species of toucans that are widely distributed in Mexico, Central America, South America, and Caribbean.
But the toucan's bill is useful as a feeding tool. The birds use them to reach fruit on branches that are too small to support their weight, and also to skin their pickings. In addition to fruit, Toco toucans eat insects and, sometimes, young birds, eggs, or lizards. Toco toucans live in small flocks of about six birds.Their bright colors actually provide good camouflage in the dappled light of the rain forest canopy.n addition to fruit, Toco toucans eat insects and, sometimes, young birds, eggs, or lizards.
