Travel to the Atlantic Forest of South America (in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and eastern Argentina) and you might spot one of these gorgeous feathered friends! The spot-billed toucanet is easily distinguishable for its interesting bill pattern, which usually consists of black spots or stripes on a pale background. This gorgeous member of the toucan family forages for fruit in the forest canopy, often hanging around in pairs.
