Pteroglossus viridis
The Green Aracari is found only in northeast South America, from eastern Venezuela and the Guianas across northern Brazil east of the Rio Negro and north of the Amazon. They are among the smallest of the Aracari species but make up for that with a huge personality. Probably the best known species, they were the most commonly bred species and, therefore, became the most popular. They are colorful and active, yet still very affectionate. They are now becoming harder and harder to find as few breeders have stayed committed to breeding them. Comical little pets, they are an ideal beginner Aracari!
