}} The green aracari, or green araçari (Pteroglossus viridis), is a toucan, a near-passerine bird. It is found in the lowland forests of northeastern South America (the Guiana Shield), in the northeast Amazon Basin, the Guianas and the eastern Orinoco River drainage of Venezuela. At 30–40 cm. (12–16 in) long and weighing 110–160 grams (3.9–5.7 oz.), it is the smallest aracari in its range,[2][3] and among the smallest members of the toucan family. Taxonomy and systematicsDescriptionMales' crowns are black, while females' are reddish brown.[4] Behaviour and ecologyBreedingBreeding occurs from February to June. It nests in tree cavities, producing 2–4 white eggs.[5] The parents cooperate in rearing their young.[4] Food and feedingIts diet consists mostly of fruit, including the fruits of Cecropia trees and the palm Oenocarpus bacaba.[5] The serrated edges of the green aracari's large bill help the bird to grip and gather fruit. Insects are also an occasional part of the diet, giving the birds protein.[4] PetsIn captivity it is the most frequently bred member of the toucan family and is the most popular as a tame hand-fed pet. It requires a large cage and toys to prevent boredom due to its active nature, and a high-fruit diet. When all these requirements are met it is an affectionate companion for many years.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} References1. ^{{IUCN|id=22681994 |title=Pteroglossus viridis |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^{{cite book | author = Steven L.
