    What a wonderful enclosure for your toucan. Thanks for discouraging them as pets 🖤

    May I suggest making an Amazon wish list for items that benefit the animals? I know other animal rescues do that, and then people can use Amazon rewards to send gifts. :)

    Glad you adopted and good for your non profit status. I just spent $1,200 today for my five birds yearly exams, blood work, and nail trim (no wing trim). You can grow your own dragon fruit in pots. I have bought plants at Etsy and Home Depot.

    WOW... that is one colourful bird/Toucan. I like the name.
    Congratulations on the adoption, the move and becoming a 501C. Your morals and ethics are to be admired
    Wishing y'all TONNES of continued success.
    Thanks for the smiles.

    JELLYBEAN, what an incredible bird to join the family. 💕 He has a pretty great disposition for such a rough start. I am happy to see he’s finally in a home that will love and care for him, as well as one that is educated on his needs. He seems very playful but is working on trusting those around him.

  • @TheAmandalorian04
    @TheAmandalorian04 2 роки тому +1

    Such a beautiful bird… I really wish more people knew how specialized their care is so they don’t get them as pets. I saw one in a store once being housed with other, much smaller birds and the shop didn’t even know they eat birds.

    • @leannepaxton5012
      @leannepaxton5012 2 роки тому

      Oh wow. That is mind blowing.
      I guess some people think that you can house every type of birds together!
      Those poor little birds, and there would have been nowhere for them to go if the toucan decided that it was hungry and wanted a snack!
      Hopefully you educated the store owners about the Toucans diet?!
      Living in Australia, we have birds here that will attack and eat other birds, although it is usually baby birds. However, I have seen magpies attack other adult birds. The butcher bird can be ruthless!
      My point being that there are plenty of birds that will attack and eat other birds, or they will just attack. I have seen it happen a lot here.

  • @kirstymoore3349
    @kirstymoore3349 2 роки тому

    Daft question Has Chris been in there with the Toucan to bond without a hat on? Or has he always worn his hat when going in? It could also be his height too he is very tall lol, sometimes sitting lower down and bonding exercises when sat lower down than the bird can elevate stress and even using clickers can help him too associate the click with a good bond!
    Sometimes with birds it can be an association of height/clothing just certain characteristics or items. I rescued a cockatiel who HATED anyone, I rehomed him on and he’s settled beautifully with the new owner. From my experience most parrots and even the smaller birds all display similar behaviours around things that could trigger them

  • @RareGem369

  • @wrinklesandsprinkles
    @wrinklesandsprinkles 2 роки тому

    I couldn’t agree more regarding toucans not bring good pets! Like you said, their diet is so specific and their behaviors are not overly studied so many people unintentionally make bad choices. I have experience with parrots(all species) and even I wouldn’t choose to home a toucan. I am happy that there are rescues; like yours; that understand the difficulties and except the challenge. An advantage to being in south Florida are the Veterinarians that specialize in avian & exotic care. Those Vets are few and far in-between in most of the upper 1/2 of the US. The ones that are available, don’t see an abundance of unusual exotics and so their education and hands-on knowledge are not as notable. The Vet cost becomes so great folks don’t seek them out and the animal suffers.
    Congratulations on your 501certificate!

Jellybean hit the jackpot finding his way to you! I'm so glad you got your dream bird. He's so fascinating! Congratulations on everything! The move, the non profit and of course the newest membe of your beautiful family!! So happy for you guys. ♥️ 2022 looks like its gonna be an amazing year for you guys! ! May each chapter in this new journey be filled with more Blessings than the last.

  • @troyhaugen1487
    @troyhaugen1487 2 роки тому

    Toucans are amazing birds!! I have had several species, and also the toucanetts. However !! Make sure you tell people how unbelievably messy birds they are because of there diet. Also when toucans reach sexual maturity (puberty) they almost ALL become very very aggressive!! Even attacking there keeper and others in house. They definitely should never ever be in a home with children. Mine even flew across the kitchen tool off my glasses and went for my face, eyes! A month before we were cuddling on the couch! The site of a nesting hole will really get them aggressive!! They belong in the jungle or in Zoological facilities with vast amounts of space. When young and hand fed they are wonderful! UNTIL they hit about 2 years old (depending on species ) And sexual maturity starts it can all end and change in 1 day!! I'm very glad to hear you say the truth about toucans! Your 100% correct! Do not get any species of toucan for a avain pet!! Definitely get rehomed often. They very intelligent. They never forget who teased them or hurt them, they hate bieng alone. Pairs are best. But in a Zoological setting for sure! Thankyou!!
