Description
Gould's toucanet (Selenidera gouldii) is a species of bird in the family Ramphastidae. It is found in the south-eastern part of the Amazon rainforest, with a disjunct population in Serra de Baturité in the Brazilian state of Ceará. Except for the bill-pattern, it resembles the spot-billed toucanet, and the two have been considered conspecific in the past. It weighs 131–209 grams (4.6–7.4 oz.) The common name commemorates the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould (1804–1881). Gould's toucanet was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus.

Feeding Habits
Gould's Toucanet primarily feeds on fruits, especially those of the Euterpe palm, and occasionally small birds or reptiles. Gould's Toucanet forages from undergrowth to canopy, often in pairs or small groups.
Habitat
The gould's Toucanet thrives in tropical regions, preferring moist to wet forests such as lowland areas, gallery forests, and notably within the cerrado's ecosystem. It is also found in palm and deciduous forests, areas with secondary growth, and forest thickets. The gould's Toucanet favors regions with tall forest canopies but can adapt to shorter forests on sandier soils. Its presence is noted in forests that border rivers, displaying adaptability to various dense wooded environments.
