Green-Billed Toucan
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
