Description
The green-billed toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus), or red-breasted toucan, is a near-passerine bird in the family Ramphastidae found in southern and eastern Brazil, Pantanal of Bolivia, eastern Paraguay and far north-eastern Argentina. It is primarily found in the Atlantic Forest. Overall, it is fairly common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by IUCN. It is one of the smallest species of Ramphastos toucans, weighing 265–400 grams (9.4–14.2 oz.) and measuring 40–46 cm (16–18 in) long in total. Its beak is one of the shortest of Ramphastos toucans at only about 10 cm (4 in) in length. Its breast is actually orange, with yellow at the sides. The beak is mostly pale greenish-horn, leading to its common name. In aviculture, their requirement of spacious cages, a high fruit diet and sensitivity to hemochromatosis (iron storage disease) make them difficult to maintain for novice keepers.

Feeding Habits
Green-billed Toucan consumes a diverse diet primarily of various fruits, including orchard fruits and those from plants like Ardiontophoenix and Euterpes edulis. Green-billed Toucan supplements its diet with insects and small birds. Usually foraging in the canopy, green-billed Toucan also descends to the ground for fallen fruits. They may feed in pairs or large groups and show aggressive behavior towards certain other birds when foraging.
Habitat
Green-billed Toucan predominantly resides in subtropical and tropical montane forests, as well as submontane regions. It also occupies secondary scrub and trees within savanna ecosystems, occasionally venturing into lowland forests. Additionally, green-billed Toucan is known to inhabit areas within plantations during post-breeding periods, generally favoring environments that are lush and well-vegetated.
