"Small toucan with distinctive plumage pattern. Male has black body with bright yellow cheek patch; also note olive back and orange patch on flanks. Female similar; she lacks the yellow cheek patch but still has bright yellow-teal skin around the eye. Found in the forest canopy, usually in pairs or small family groups. Feeds on fruits, and sometimes perches conspicuously on an open branch."

They eat fruit, insects, spiders, and lizards, foraging in pairs and small flocks. Little is known about their nesting behavior, though they may primarily breed between April and August and perform courtship displays while singing. Females are thought to lay clutches of two to four eggs.

..The fact that I just spent a solid hour or so scrolling through the entirety of Wikipedia’s list of bird genera to come up with a self-insert name probably isn’t a good sign, is it

(For context, all of the named Celestrians in Dragon Quest IX are named after birds - Aquila meaning eagle, Columba meaning dove, Corvus meaning crow, and so on. This also extends to the names written on various towns’ Guardian statues. Unfortunately I think they’re more specifically named after constellations of birds, like Apus Major - since the bird-of-paradise genus on its own is just Apus - so.. that narrows options down.)

..I’m still thinking about Pavo a lot

Meet the Spot-billed Toucanet (Selenidera maculirostris)! This species inhabits forests throughout Central and South America, including parts of Argentina and Brazil. It’s often seen in pairs or small groups foraging for fruit. In addition to the signature spots on its bill, it has dark spots around its pupils; this gives the illusion of horizontal pupils.

Yellow-eared Toucanet (Selenidera spectabilis)

This colorful bird inhabits forests in parts of Central America, Colombia, and Ecuador, where it feeds mainly on fruit. To distinguish a male from a female, check its namesake trait: Males have yellow streaks of plumage on each side of the head, which females lack. Another signifier to help tell them apart is the color of the forehead; those of females are a rusty-brown color, while those of males are black.
