the blue-banded toucanet is a relatively small member of the toucan family. they are found in tropical forests of bolivia and peru. these toucanets tend to be social, and are often found in pairs or small groups. like other toucan species, they are primarily fruit-eaters, but are opportunistic feeders that will take lizards and other small prey. the sexes share the same plumage, but juveniles are duller in coloration.

"Small toucan with distinctive plumage pattern. Male has black body with bright yellow cheek patch; also note olive back and orange patch on flanks. Female similar; she lacks the yellow cheek patch but still has bright yellow-teal skin around the eye. Found in the forest canopy, usually in pairs or small family groups. Feeds on fruits, and sometimes perches conspicuously on an open branch."

March 15, 2024 - Yellow-eared Toucanet (Selenidera spectabilis) Found in parts of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador, these toucans live in and around mountain and lowland forests. They eat fruit, insects, spiders, and lizards, foraging in pairs and small flocks. Little is known about their nesting behavior, though they may primarily breed between April and August and perform courtship displays while singing. Females are thought to lay clutches of two to four eggs.
