Description
Northern South America
Guyana toucanets belong to the toucan family; both genders have yellow ear patches, and large, red and black-colored beaks that are about 3 inches in length.
Guyana Toucanets are a dimorphic species as the males have a black head and breast, and the females have a gray breast, black crown, and chestnut nape. Courtship consists of tossing fruit to one another and nesting will occur high up in hollowed trees. The bill is not effective for extensive excavation work and so they must rely on holes already formed.
