Rescue Toucan Grows Into Curious And Quirky Bird | Cuddle Birds

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

What do you think of Touki's beautiful beak?

[@rebeccayood5152]

I love his beak !!

[@enes6349]

THE BEST BEAK IN ALL OF THE 100.000 UNIVERSES😁

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Nature does extraordinary things.

[@pannellclara]

That’s what they have to go through when they are smuggled to the US! many die in the process - for our enjoyment😢

[@paddiemorgan872]

Omgoodness he’s soooo adorable 🥰 his rainbow beak is beautiful ❤️

[@rebeccac4751]

This is one of the hardest birds to have in your family due to it’s complex needs to thrive. This bird is in exceptional condition, this lady is doing an amazing job of caring for this beautiful bird.

[@SeaFlower38]

Yes he really is so healthy, happy, and shiney

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

amazing condition, Janelle has done amazingly 😍

[@misscalicogirl]

thank you for bringing up the fact that they are hard to care for. im always worried people will see videos like this and immediately think they need one. toucans are not a bird id recommend anybody have as a pet unless theyre specially qualified.

[@MaxOakland]

@@misscalicogirl what are their complex needs?

[@dwaynesbadchemicals]

Never seen one really thriving like this in captivity.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

It's only recently (about 5-6 years now), that I've come to appreciate how emotional, individual, clever, intelligent - etc., many birds are. When I first saw a video of a parrot snuggling in the bed with it's owner, it was an epiphany. They are extraordinary, and I find rescue/rehibilitation/love stories like these deeply moving.

[@harrynac6017]

Yeah, I also like to watch free birds that mate for life. Lots of them are very caring for eachother.

[@LindaCasey]

It's why I became vegan ..

[@harrynac6017]

@@LindaCasey Living in a street with a slaughterhouse the first 18 years of my life, did that trick for me. Btw, the neighbourhood was very violent. Working in such an environment brings out the worst in people. Nowerdays the slaughterhouse is gone, and it's a good place to live.

[@likeaboss6421]

Parrots are especially intelligent and if they lose thier owner who they've come to love they get very depressed and pull all Thier feathers out it's really heartbreaking to see because these birds really know what love and kindness is ❤️🦜

[@sylvia106]

Domestic turkeys and chickens will snuggle with you as babies 100%, if you raise them with love and as they mature, they will be socialized and make excellent companions.

[@ThomasDoubting5]

They aren't easy birds to keep so this woman has done amazing to get him looking so well .

[@LadySamurai88]

True! That is because they actually shouldn’t be pets. People who see videos like this of rescue birds think they are fun and good pets so they buy one but have no idea what a lot of amazing care they give these beautiful birds. So glad she saved him and giving him a good life ❤

[@ThomasDoubting5]

@@LadySamurai88 oh they can be you can have deeply profound life changing relationships with the tropical birds , but they have specific needs and dedication requirements , effectively your life decisions are made based on a commitment to them otherwise they suffer badly , the problems start when people get them because they look good bit like the way they likely select human partners to lol I believe they should be in the wild , the wild birds should be , you can't release the captive bred ones successfully they simply don't have the ability to live wild and actually they would likely be rejected by thier wild counterparts as they would behave differently . They have culture believe it or not .

[@bonnieking5493]

I have never seen a toucan except on the Fruit Loops cereal box. He is a stunning bird! You have devoted so much time to get him looking so beautiful considering what shape he was in when you got him. You are a very special person!

[@chellesama8256]

ToucanTV here in yt has several rescues if you'd like to see more toucans! Brock goes into detail about care.

[@alisha_madariaga]

Same! I have never seen a real one until now. His colors are soooooo vibrant ! And quite obvious it’s due to how extremely well he is being cared for. Did you notice how pale and muted his coloring was after being brought home for the first time?

[@bobleblanc6653]

I saw one a long time ago at a bird and reptile show..it's colors were so vibrant I thought it was fake..then it turned its head very slowly and watched us pass...I would have swore it wasn't real because of how amazing the colors were

[@bp47310]

I hope this place was reported…sounds like horrible conditions living in. So glad this baby is thriving

[@alisha_madariaga]

@@bp47310 what place? The rescue?? The rescue didn’t do that. He was brought in that way. Unless you saw something I didn’t …

@@Robertahausen and if you breed an entire flock of this species don’t release that anywhere outside its release it to South America, where it is native to and if you want my advice, you can breed that thick as much as you want because if you release a flock of these in South America, fruits, native to that area will grow their trees

[@darylhudson777]

I had a teacher when I was in 5th grade that was from New York and he introduced us to pigeons. My pigeon flock got to be about 25 or more. Then I also got some chickens. I finally got a parakeet and I've had several. If you treat them good and give them all the nutrition they need and love they are the most amazing sweetest cutest smartest fun and lovable little buddies you could ever have.

[@cottoncandykawaii2673]

it's remarkable how big their beaks are to the size of their head, I wonder how they evolved to deal with that

[@tma1339]

They use their beaks to steal eggs from other birds nests

[@daniellepiergreen5642]

They didn't evolve. God made them that way so they are perfectly designed and equipped to do what they need to do

[@Xenakeyblademaster]

Their beaks are basically just keratin, like our nails and hair from what I understand. They're thin and lightweight so despite their size I don't think the beak itself actually weighs that much? And despite the toughness they're definitely prone to chipping and breaking from what I've seen. Just things to think about

[@flying-magpie]

​@@daniellepiergreen5642 No they totally evolved, science backs it up 👌

[@gpgara]

They are closely related to woodpeckers, so the evolution of the beak might be related to that.

[@bladedemissary]

This Toucan looks absolutely stunning and very well cared for and nurtured. They are indeed VERY VERY complicated, unique and beautiful birds with a variety of dietary, and upkeep and care needs. They are also very likely to build a strong bond with a singular person in a family home and can be aggressive to any others in that home and even combative with anyone they see as a threat to the bond they have with their person (they can cause drama and trauma between couples) It is my understanding that it's a common practice for these breeders that sell these and other exotic birds intentionally keep them in deplorable yet alive conditions in order to sell them more quickly to people wishing to "rescue" them. Many people do so and thus the vicious cycle continues. Although this lovely woman has done an amazing job with Touki - not all hopeful rescuer's do. Please, please unless you know how to care for them - do not buy them to rescue them - it continues the cycle. Report the sellers/breeders and don't buy their birds.

[@wendybendfeldt5773]

He's magnificent!!! Thank you for caring for him and restoring him to health! He's a lucky bird!

[@MunkyDrag0n]

The "scream" akin to a frog croaking is a call used to maintain contact with members of the flock. Keel billed toucans are social and live in groups. When one family member is away he instinctively uses the call to communicate where he is, hoping they will answer. Even though no one else in the family will croak back he looks like he isn't stressed about that.

This is a very cute video. I didn't expect that as I've been attacked by a tiny bird once and since then I'm not so keen on birds as pets but this is very sweet. I like that the video gives an honest portrayal of the difficulty of having an exotic animal and that the owner wasn't out looking for one. Great job on nursing the toucan back to health.

[@lesliemorse7522]

I'm so glad you put the disclaimer that folks research before rescuing or getting one as a pet. You take such wonderful care if your baby that you make it look fun and easy to have a toucan in the house.

It takes a lot of hard work/love and devotion to get from a sickly baby to this beautiful bird!

I'm from a country with toucans and it's easy to know if they're ok and happy: nice feathers and bright colors, just like in this video. It was so nice, in the jungle we could hear a fast "tac-tac-tac" here, then there, then farther and we started looking for the bright colors.
