Males have black crowns whereas females are more rufous in color. Male beaks are also slightly longer.  

All Ramphastids lay pure white, elliptical shaped eggs, usually 3-4 per clutch. Incubation for all species lasts 16 days, and young fledge the nest at 40-42 days.

'''Cool Facts:''' The Ivory Bill consists of three subspecies (''P. a. azara, P. a. flavirostris, P. a. mariae'').
