About These Birds

Black-billed Mountain-toucan

The Black-billed Mountain-toucan is a large, colorful toucan of Andean cloud forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, with a striking black bill, turquoise facial skin, chestnut flanks, and vivid red undertail coverts. It inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges at elevations from about 1,500 to 3,500 meters. It feeds on fruits, berries, and occasionally insects and small vertebrates.

Keel-billed Toucan

The keel-billed toucan is the national bird of Belize and one of the most recognizable birds in the Neotropics. Its oversized bill, which can be a third of its body length, is actually very light due to its hollow honeycomb structure. Toucans roost communally, with up to six adults squeezing into a single tree cavity.
