About These Birds
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.
Black-necked Araçari
The Black-necked Araçari is a medium-sized toucan with a dark black-and-chestnut plumage, a distinctive dark neck band, and a striped yellow-red bill. It inhabits humid lowland forests of the Guiana Shield and northern Amazonia, including Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and northern Brazil. It feeds primarily on fruits and berries in the forest canopy, supplemented by insects and small vertebrates.
