[@airysquared]

Very cute and surprisingly affectionate! But I wouldn't be able to meet a toucan's needs, so I'll live vicariously through KZbin.

[@belencorso6976]

seriously one of the smartest things I've heard someone say on a youtube comment.

[@crtinde]

Agreed ... that's probably the position that most of us should take when it comes to owning most kinds of pets! Plenty of dogs and cats need homes ... other than that let's leave the responsibility to care for exotic animals to the few people that are well equipped to do so.

[@kfl611]

me too, I appreciate seeing exotic birds on you tube and TV shows. Or say hi to them if I visit the pet store.

[@kutie216]

@@belencorso6976 I have a lot of respect for people who admit they don’t have what it takes to care for a pet yet. I currently would love a dog, but I don’t have the time and money I need to properly care for one, so I’m waiting until I’m ready. As much as I’d love to have an animal companion, I’d prefer to be able to care for them the way they deserve.

[@susanjones6410]

I greatly appreciate your honesty and wholeheartedly agree that Toucans don't belong in human care because it's hard to impossible to do right and all the other reasons you mentioned. Yes, aviaries are simply not enough; you need an island for them! Moreover, I think this is true of most exotic pets. I'm a formal animal researcher and taught at an animal hospital for many years, so I speak from experience. I hope a lot of people watch this video, really hear your words and take heed. Thank you so much for making this video and sharing this most important truth!

[@corinnewoolley9822]

Susan Jones I agree, cats and dogs are domestic pets not exotic birds and animals, I find it upsetting that in America theses creatures are often used as some sort of status, showing off to others trying to outdo each other, totally unacceptable and it should be made illegal, animals are as entitled to be free as humans.

[@cairrean2412]

Several breeds of birds are already pretty well on the way to being domesticated. After several generations of captive breeding, they don't have the instincts to survive in the wild anymore. Would you consider it kinder to have a bird in a safe, loving home where they are fed, cleaned, trained, and otherwise cared for, or would it be better to release a bird into the wild where it is not a native species and without the instincts it needs to survive?

[@BulldogLawyer]

Susan Jones honestly I feel that only a few specific animals belong In human care. Dogs and cats were domesticated. Hedgehogs do fairly well in human care if you have no other pets. Some birds like Greys do well in captivity. Other pets like bats do not and should not be pets.

[@wuvvy6122]

yeah, I learnt a lot, I nearly went to get a toucan last Friday, with my projects, I might not be able to care for it as well as my other birds

[@jeffm5181]

I used to have Amazons, Macaws, Cockatoos and conures - and had a friend who had 2 toucans. He had a massive enclosure for them but they are not pets, never should be. They are a mess, require constant attention and really should just be in the jungle. My last parrot died 2 years ago after 35 years in my care. Great companion, went with me everywhere and sat on my shoulder all day. I will never get another bird and if you ever have the urge there are hundreds who need to be rescued/adopted but the more we discourage having exotic pets, the better.

[@AntsCanada]

Adorable but super informative video and a bird I surely won't be getting!

[@K959s]

AntsCanada hello! How is your day?

[@GenXstacker]

Human babies are also cute and cuddly, but I wouldn't recommend anyone keep them as pets either. They've been known to poop a lot and throw up. They have incredibly fast metabolisms and require a constant supply of mashed carrots and peas. Eventually they grow up and become thankless teenagers.

[@absinthe7266]

Exactly

[@shiwani329]

Crap, I wish I knew that before. I have mine for 3 years now, is it too late to go back?

[@lilak9834]

Truth.

[@spacebug31]

Shiwani you can still dump them at the human shelter, I think it's called an orphanage or something. Just don't release it in the forest or tie it to a tree, that's generally frowned upon

[@TheBellows000]

It's so cute when it purrs like a velociraptor.

[@troublingleaf]

Really pleased to see someone being completely honest about their pet species, a lot of people will give the warnings, but not many will be honest enough to say we shouldn't keep them, I guess it's about being honest with yourself, ie. if you're willing to accept the truth, you have to be willing to act on it!

[@melissasmith6762]

That's not 'honesty', that's a snobby person thinking that if they can't keep something/don't like it no one else possibly can.

[@asharizz.3786]

Melissa Smith Toucans are extremely hard to take care of and what she said was right and she’s not snobby lol. Toucans are hard I know because my Uncle actually had a Toucan once and what she said in this video was right. Toucans shouldn’t be in human cares, Toucans shouldn’t be kept as pets. Most people get a Toucan because they think its cute and it’s like taking care of a parrot but they’re really not!

[@alipetuniashow]

@@asharizz.3786 not as hard as she points

[@barb_wirewire6867]

So glad you made this video on how fragile, and hard they are to take care of and especially on recommending on “ not to have one “ as a pet!! People need to be educated before getting any type of bird. Well done one of my favorite videos !

[@harounben342]

Your cat purrs differently.

[@honeybadger781]

Rocko is amazing. He's a big bird but moves and hops around like a budgie.

[@chantalc5246]

I appreciate how loving you are with him, he's not some bird in a massive cage that you ignore all day. IFf anyone HAD to have a Toucan, I'm glad its you!! Love the work you do with your birds :)

Always wanted one. My respect for the bird has and will continue to keep me from getting one.

[@siradmin6791]

Yeah me too

[@madamshedevil4365]

I had to come and give my condolences I’m sorry for your loss. And he will be very much missed! And he will never be forgotten! 😔💙✨ We love you and your strong! Keep your head up high and he’s watching you!

[@nickilovesdogs8137]

When I visited Kenya there were those Toucans in the palm trees above where we sat outside. I always looooved seeing them and listening to their sounds. The Toucans loved observing people underneath the trees. The seem very intelligent and creative. Thank you for rescuing those lovely birds.

[@danicahannaford737]

Rocko is so cute

[@cindyharalson8134]

You cracked me up when talking about blueberry stains on the walls! I do wild bird rehab and an adult Robin didn't migrate south so i over wintered it in my spare bathroom. (In AK). He loved blueberries! And there is noooo way to get that off your walls!!

[@cecesheart32]

This is a very important and caring message. People easily get attracted to certain animals then can’t properly care for them. Exotic animals are not recommended domestic pets if you cannot dedicate the proper and necessary care for them.

[@catw5294]

Beautiful creature and thank you for the honesty about their care.

[@torquess454]

You love your birds like I love my tiny foster kittens that I call Bottle Babies. I've kept 3 of them over the years, a brother and sister were brought to me at 4 days old. And Barney came to me at only 1 hour old. He was still wet. His mom died on the operating table. He was the only survivor of his litter. They bring me so much joy and companionship, I could never repay them. It's very easy to love a creature that is always asking for a cuddle. Bless you and your birdies...I'm thinking of getting another cockatiel. My first one lived 15 years and was a joy and soooo smart and talkative!
