Green toucanets[2] are near-passerine birds from the genus Aulacorhynchus in the toucan family. They are native to Mexico, and Central and South America. All are found in humid forests and woodlands in highlands, but a few also occur in adjacent lowlands.[3] They are relatively small toucans, 30–44 centimetres (12–17 in) long, with colorful, mainly green, plumage.[3] They are typically seen in pairs or small groups, and sometimes follow mixed species flocks.[4]
