The keel-billed toucan can be found from Southern Mexico to Venezuela and Colombia.
Like many toucans, keel-billed is a very social bird, rarely seen alone. It travels in small flocks of about six to twelve individuals through lowland rainforests. It is a poor flyer, and moves mostly by hopping through trees.
