The Guyana Toucanet (Selenidera culik) is one of six members of the genus Selenidera or lowland toucanets. All six species are dimorphic with the males black on the head and breast. Four of the females are brown on the head and breast except for the Guyana, wherein the female has a gray breast, black crown and brown nape, and the Yellow Eared Toucanet wherein the female is very similar to the male with a black head and breast and a brown nape.
Guyana Toucanets are found in Venezuela, Guyana and Surinam where they are common. Small numbers of the Guyana were imported in the late 1980's and then not again until the end of the decade through 2006. The Guyana was first bred in captivity in the U.S. by Jerry Jennings in 1989 at Emerald Forest Bird Gardens. Guyanas nest in tree hollows where they lay 3-5 elliptical white eggs that hatch after 16 days incubation. The young fledge at 42 days of age. They are easily bred in captivity and should remain available for years to come. They make interesting pets and are very active, playful birds. They are not listed on CITES.
