Ramphastos citreolaemus

The Citron-throated Toucan is a striking bird found in the humid forests of South America. It is recognized by its vibrant plumage, featuring a black body, bright yellow throat, and a large colorful bill. These toucans are known for their distinctive calls and are often seen feeding on fruits and small insects in the forest canopy. They play an important role in seed dispersal and contribute to the diversity of the forest ecosystem. However, habitat loss and illegal pet trade pose significant threats to their population.
