The Guianan toucanet is a small bird from the toucan family. It lives in the tropical forests of northern South America and has a bright multicolored beak.
The Guianan selenider differs from large toucans in its small body size and bright two-colored plumage of males and females. It is important for the forest because it disperses seeds of many tropical trees.
Picks fruits with the tip of the beak and tosses them into the throat with one head movement.
