Belize’s national bird, the Keel-billed Toucan is one of the most recognized bird species in the world. This gorgeous resident of lowland rainforests draws many tourists. The Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups and nests in tree cavities. They are big, bright and loud. Their call can be heard up to a mile away.

The Keel-billed Toucan was named Belize’s national bird in 1981, when the country was granted it’s independence. Truly an amazing bird.
