    Pico~Green Aracari-pics and videos

    Pico is my last softbill to post about. He belonged to a family in ND. Sadly, their baby son had a violent allergic reaction and wound up in the hospital. The drs. said no pets, and no carpet! So his former mom needed to find him a home quick, before her son was released from the hospital. So she shipped him down to me last year. He is a wonderful bird who loves me. He just cannot be out with other birds. In the wild a small bird could potentially be lunch. Like Gryphon, he is subject to hemachromatosis, so he has a specialized diet of mostly fruits and low iron pellets. I have had him in four different cages, finally being able to get a slightly used SS custom Expandable habitats cage, which he really likes.
    on the way home from the airport{he was a hit in the airport...everyone wanted to see the toucan!}

    Oh Carole he is gorgeous. I love that backdrop and also the monkey in his cage. He should feel right at home. How do the other birds like him? and by the way Heartly is a beautiful dog

    Thanks Alison, and thanks Audrey and Wendy!He is in my office, with only Elfe and Yuna. They are all ok living in the same room. I just do not allow the parrots or other birds out with him. He would go after them. He learns well though, and he knows I do not allow him to harass them in any way, so they are cool together. I keep covers on the very top of Elfe and Yuna's cage, and his cage has a plexi top.
