Collared Aracari

The Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus) is the most widely distributed toucan species in Central America ranging from southern Mexico south to Colombia. It has been imported in large numbers since 1995 and is perhaps the most common Aracari in captivity in the U.S. today. The Collared was first bred in captivity by Jerry Jennings in 1989. It breeds relatively easy in captivity and lays 3-5 elliptical white eggs in a tree hollow or in a hollow log in captivity, which hatch after 16 days incubation and young fledge at 42 days of age. The Collared makes an excellent pet when handfed as a baby. It is not listed on CITES.
