Gould's Toucanet is a striking species, known for its vibrant green plumage, black head, and a distinctive band of reddish-chestnut across its breast in males. Females have a black breast. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where it feeds on fruits and insects. Its soft calls are a part of the forest soundscape.
Where to spot
Native to humid tropical lowland forests of the southern Amazon Basin, including parts of Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for its green body and black head, paying attention to the reddish-chestnut breast band in males (or black in females). Scan the mid-canopy, especially near fruiting trees. Listen for its soft, frog-like calls that can be difficult to pinpoint.
When to spot
Present year-round. Most active during the early morning hours. Vocal activity may increase during the breeding season.
