The Toucan in Grow a Garden is a rare tropical specialist pet that provides powerful benefits to tropical plants within its range. Its main function is to grant all nearby tropical plants a size and variant bonus with a continuous effect—meaning it works 24/7 without any cooldown. Specifically, the Toucan:
- Increases the size of tropical fruits by about 1.7 times (size bonus multiplier).
- Boosts the chances of tropical fruits developing into rare variants by around 1.18 times (variant chance multiplier).
- This effect applies to tropical crops like Coconut, Dragon Fruit, Feijoa, Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, and other tropical-themed plants.
- It provides a ×1.75 multiplier boost to tropical crop value and makes the fruits visually larger.
- The effect radius is about 25.77 studs in the game.
- The Toucan is considered one of the most valuable pets for tropical crop farming as it significantly increases crop size, variant mutation chances, and profitability. Some players report increases in profits by 300-500% on premium tropical crops.
To maximize the Toucan's effectiveness, it should be placed centrally in a tropical crop zone. Combining it with other pets like the Honey Bee (for pollination) or Master Sprinklers can further enhance results. In summary, the Toucan is a highly beneficial pet for growing tropical plants in Grow a Garden, boosting their size, variant mutations, and ultimately increasing yields and profits from those crops. You can obtain the Toucan by hatching it from the Rare Summer Egg with about a 25% chance during the Summer Harvest event. This makes the Toucan a must-have pet for players focusing on tropical plants in Grow a Garden.
