Habitat
The red-necked Aracari primarily occupies moist lowland and hilly tropical forests, favoring well-drained and gallery forests within broader tropical regions. These birds adapt to various forested landscapes including dense bamboo stands, streamside tree growth, and tall secondary forests. They are native to the southeastern Amazon Basin, extending to regions characterized by such vegetative environments. Although typically found at sea level, the red-necked Aracari can inhabit areas up to 800 meters in altitude, with recorded higher elevations in certain hilly terrains.
