    This softbill was just found outside and brought to a rescue friend of ours.

    So green aracari was found outside and brought to a friend of ours that runs a rescue out of her house. I just don't get why people would do this. On the bright side, these are such rare birds in Chicago, the original breeder was easily located. The rescue is returning him to the breeder (who I'm sure knows the owner that "misplaced" him).

    See Carole, we found the section just fine.

    In the last pic, look how pale her yellow belly is. Very sad...it should be bright yellow.

    You know Jason? Yes it is in fact. It sounds like one of our locals is known nationally, rightfully so.

    I'm glad she was found and will be taken care of. She does look like she could use some TLC.

    Oh yes, those who know aracaris know Jason. He is on my FB list too. We all use his diet sheet as a guide of what to feed. It's between him and Jerry from Emerald Bird Gardens...they are the go to guys. Many people I know have babies from Jason...some several. He seems like a real caring person.

    So whats the most challenging aspect of caring for Pico? I assume the diet?

    I Jason speaks often about them but I had never associated the visually. I always assumed he was speaking about the larger ones. Since this whole thing came up we finally made the connection.
