Also I kind of needed an avatar. First time work with a limited palette, and I think it turned out alright. :o Well I guess the three color animation too but that isn't quite the same thing
EDIT: Animated now, but I didn't add as much to it as I would've liked... Was trying to do that classic bird head tilt thing but I couldn't make it look right @_@
EDIT EDIT: Damnit, it didn't keep the timing I had in Graphics Gale. :/ The animation runs at a bit of a faster pace than it's supposed to.

Awesome. I'm reminded of the Tiki Room in Disney World. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? With the animatronic birds? Anyway, I like your toucan. The palette is great.
I don't even have the bird tilt in there yet... :P It was supposed to do it after it turns its head toward the front of the screen, but I couldn't get the perspective right. I might come back and try again after I become un-lazy but who knows when that will be~
the animation looks good! for the "bird-tilt" to work better, you should increase the actual distance traveled a bit more. But still keep the low framerate. like: 1. standard 2. inbetween 3. 'slightly more than extreme' frame ( like 1 pixel more in the direction of the movement) 4. the real extreme frame, held longer than the other frames.
I haven't animated a birds head movement myself yet, so I'm not entirely sure if that motion would work, but at least thats the way I would try it.

If I was not so busy I would create a toucan right away! I will not be too busy again soon, so if I am still that motivated in 3 weeks or so, ill make one too ;)
