The citron-throated toucan (Ramphastos citreolaemus) is a near-passerinebird in the family Ramphastidae, the toucans, toucanets, and aracaris. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela.[2]
The citron-throated toucan is about 48 cm (19 in) long and weighs about 360 g (13 oz). The sexes are alike. Their bill is mostly black. It has a narrow greenish-yellow culmen, a wide yellow band at the base of the maxilla, and a blue-green base to the mandible. The eye is surrounded by bare pale blue skin. Most of the plumage is black. The rump, uppertail coverts, throat, and breast are pale lemon yellow with a narrow red band below the breast. The undertail coverts are red.[6]
Distribution and habitatedit
The citron-throated toucan is found from northern Colombia into northwestern Venezuela. It inhabits mature humid forest in the lowlands and foothills. In elevation it occurs from sea level to 500 m (1,600 ft) in Venezuela and 900 m (3,000 ft) in Colombia.[6]

Movementedit
As far as is known, the citron-throated toucan is a year-round resident throughout its range.[6]
Feedingedit
The citron-throated toucan typically forages from the forest mid-storey to its canopy but will pick up fallen fruit from the ground. Its diet is primarily a wide variety of fruits and also includes insects and other arthropods, lizards, and birds and their eggs.[6]
Breedingedit
The citron-throated toucan's breeding season appears to include at least January to July. Its breeding biology is assumed to be similar to that of the channel-billed toucan but no studies have been made.[6]

Vocal and non-vocal soundsedit
The citron-throated toucan is one of the "croaker" group of toucans.[4] Its song is a "series of frog-like, croaking 'cree-op' notes".[6]
Statusedit
The IUCN has assessed the citron-throated toucan as being of Least Concern. It has a large range, but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified.[1] It is considered uncommon in Colombia, where it occurs in several protected areas. It is considered scarce and local in Venezuela "where its Andean foothill habitat around [the Lake] Maracaibo basin is fast disappearing".[6]
