The sounds of toucans

Описание: The sounds of Yellow-throated toucans (Ramphastos ambiguus) calling in the rainforest.

Yellow throated toucans are striking and beautiful birds with some of the largest bills in the bird world. This species of toucan has 3 subspecies but there isn't a lot of variation between the apart from geographic range. They are year-round residents in the areas they call home, from Honduras south into Costa Rica and further down into South America beyond Peru. They nest in tree cavities although they don't dig these holes themselves. These toucans feed mostly on fruit but occasionally take insects, eggs and small birds or mammals.

Whatever I thought this toucan sounds like based on its appearance, it was wrong. Their main call is a series of yelps not unlike puppy barks, uttered from the tops of the canopy mostly at dawn and dusk. The sounds of several individuals calling carry over long distance in the rainforest and is one of the iconic sounds of the jungle in its range.

Recorded in Costa Rica with Sony PCM A10 and Lom mikroUsi microphones. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Please consider supporting me by:
