All I got to say, your bird is amazing
, I appreciate you sharing that Video! I was a Ranger Rick kid growing up, Wild America before bed on tv, and my first Audubon book was N. America birds. I love trying to attract birds. Waxwings are my favorite, we share a common interest in eating berries.
Do you free flight your birds?
I do not. I live in a wooded area and theres way too many hawks and owls and other predators. The toucan and parrots go outside in the summer to big aviaries, so they fly in their and get sunlight, sound and sight enrichment, etc. And suddenly, ANTS!! LOL. In the winter, they come inside, and I'll rotate them in the house and in the bird room. Every other day they get free flight of the hosue in the winter. Unfortunately, I cant let the toucan out with the parrots. Hes a bit of a turd and will try to kill them.@jmaneyapanda , I share a similar view that if you look at where a species is from and replicate habitat and needs for survival, it can work with your diligence to come through for them. I did a lot of orchid growing way back when, so I looked at the whole picture as well as I could of climate for water and humidity, PAR, Temp, and if not epiphytic, a suitable medium that is characteristic to there natural environment. After seeing your Video, I’ll have a Molluccan on one shoulder, a Toucan on the other.
