Toucans mostly consume fruit, but they are what's called "opportunistic" omnivores because they also kill and eat small animals to get added protein. They actively hunt insects and small lizards, and use their large beaks to steal eggs and nestlings of smaller birds.

What is a toucan's prey?

A toucan's prey (which varies some depending on species) includes insects, arachnids, and other species of birds (they also eat bird eggs, however the bulk of their diet is made up of fruit rather than meat and other animal products). I've heard of them going after small reptiles as well, but I can't verify that this is true for sure. However telling by the behavior of my pet toucan (an emerald toucanet) they will go after just about anything that moves so long as it's not way too large to be prey. Toucans prey is insects or such birds.
