Round 2, Poll 26

Fiery-billed Aracari vs Bell Miner

sources under cut

Fiery-billed Aracari

These birds typically travel in groups of six or more, groups that sometimes include other toucans. They roost communally, and may pack several birds into the same cavity for sleeping.

A cooperative breeder, sometimes birds from the previous season will return to aid their parents in raising the next brood. While the diet of adult aracari is mostly fruit based, they’ll feed the nestlings mostly insects.

Bell Miner

“Their call is such a relaxing tinkling from the tall trees. But also, more importantly, they’re like the saddest looking birds I’ve ever seen. Like who hurt you, buddy.”

Bell miners live in large, complex social groups. Within each group there are subgroups containing several breeding pairs, but also a number of birds not currently breeding. Non-breeding birds will aid in the raising of the nest. These birds defend their colony areas communally and aggressively, excluding most other passerine species, which would compete with the miners on their main source of food: colonies of psyllid bugs called “bell lerps”.

"bell miner are a problem because of how well they protect their psyllid bugs. They lead to trees dying- it's called Bell Miner Associated Dieback, or BMAD (which is a great acronym). But eucalyptus forests are already struggling in a lot of places because of the changes in the fire regime. we need more fire, but BMAD also adds to those issues in some areas! I don't hold it against them tho, look how sad they are"

I drew some toucans now bc i like them too! Contrary to the mustelids, these have their true colors. They sure are some birds

From left to right and top-down, there's a channel-billed toucan subspecies (Ramphastos vitellinus vitellinus), an emerald toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus), a Choco toucan (Ramphastos brevis), a plate-billed mountain toucan (Andigena laminirostris) and a keel-billed toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus).
