Pet Toucan

This is my pet toco toucan Rocko, I got him in November of 2007 from Jerry Jennings at Emerald Forest Bird Gardens in California through the Make-A-Wish foundation. My story is available on http://www.emeraldforestbirds.com/TT13.htm

To date we have been featured twice on News 12 on Long Island, and will be on Animal Planet doing a segment of Pets 101 on December 10th 2011 at 9pm I uploaded a video from the segment on youtube to coincide with this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7s6JAHSTPc

@marcosis96 oh sweet man, yeah they arent to hard to take care of. Its just preparing the food thats the hardest. It has to be chopped to 3/8in cubes for them to comfortably swallow. If its too big they mush it up to make it small and make a mess. Other than that, just the general maintance, clean the cage, and spend time with him
