Aracaris
Toucan Information ... Toucan Photo Gallery ... Toucan Store
The aracaris are medium-sized toucans in the genus Pteroglossus. They are brightly plumaged and with enormous colourful bills.
All the species are basically fruit-eating, but will take insects and other small prey. They nest in tree holes laying 2–4 white eggs. They are resident breeders and do not migrate.
The aracaris are unusual for toucans in that they roost socially throughout the year, up to six adults and fledged young sleeping in the same hole with tails folded over their backs.
