Ramphastos citreolaemus

Ramphastos citreolaemus, Citron-throated Toucan, is a medium-sized climbing bird.

The yellow-throated toucan's song is hoarse and low. This species is omnivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, and insects, and sometimes raiding the nests of small birds, eating eggs and chicks.

Yellow-throated Toucans nest in tree holes, the preferred hole is good wood, the opening width is just enough for adult birds to drill into, the hole depth of 17 cm ~ 2 meters. The presence of suitable burrows near the root of the tree will also attract birds that normally nest in high places to nest near the ground. - Lay 2 to 4 eggs. Smooth white eggs are piled in unlined holes and hatch in about 16 days. The hatchlings are completely naked and need at least three weeks to open their eyes, and after hatching, it takes more than 50 days for the chicks to live their lives independently in the leaf cluster.
