DREAM FLOCK?

[patdbunny]

I think if I'm already doing it for my parrots, why wouldn't I be able to do it for a Toucan?

Yep. Just make sure your other birds aren't out loose with it. Noms. . .

Apparently if they're introduced to other birds while they're young, there's a good chance they'll be fine with other birds. Not sure I'd take the chance, as I'd prefer my birds not to be lunch for a larger bird.

I need a sugar daddy to cave into my every bird desire.

all this talk about toucans is making me want one...!

Dream Flock... money, space, and time infinite?

Hyacinth, a couple Rainbow lorikeets, WB Caique or 2, another B&G, couple of Greys.

But since I have not that kind of space, money, or time... I will keep what I have

My dream bird is absolutely an African Grey. I remember answering this in another thread and people got all uppity over it, but I won't have one until my youngest toddler is in school. I need more space too. I have loved African Greys since childhood, and am currently leaning towards a TAG.

Right now I have a Quaker and a lovebird, both of whom I can't imagine life without now! I'd love another Quaker!

I'd love to own a GCC too, maybe in the next year or two. I love conures though. I'd take any conure really.

I am currently obsessed with Hahn's Macaws after meeting one. He was incredible!

I would love to had a King Parrot (a friend for Timmy) and female Princess Parrot (a GF for Prince) to our flock, as well as a Sulphur Crested Too, a Blue Fronted Amazon and a Black Capped Lory.

Aren't Toucans the same as Lorikeets in that they have very runny droppings that make a huge mess? I've heard stories involving the words "squirting" and "walls" etc. That's enough to put me off of Toucans! But, yeah, I've also heard that they make great pets and that they are terribly difficult to keep happy and healthy because of space and food issues.

I don't think their droppings are quite as messy as a Lorikeets because they don't eat a nectar, but a diet of fruit and low iron pellets. I've never seen one up close though, so I'm not sure! Emerald Forest Bird Garden feeds theirs a combination of papaya, cantaloupe, banana, grapes and other seasonal non-citrus fruit. The recommended cage size for them is also something like 80 x 60 x 80, so a huge cage.

After seeing that Hawkhead you posted, I'm so enamoured with their little head dress! Very beautiful birds.

Oh, if you ever get the chance, try and meet a Hawk Head! Pictures don't do them justice. They do tend to become one person birds tho so you've gotta meet a baby!
