Our neighbors brought us two baby toucans rescued from a fallen log. These little dinosaurs are loud and fascinating creatures! We've had them for a few days now and are starting to discover their rhythms for eating and rest, and are feeling more confident we'll be able to successfully raise them to the point they can fly free.
If there are any #bird experts out there who might have some advice, feel free to share. Tips are appreciated!
What a fun adventure!

Watch for impacted crops - give them plenty of fluids. It helps to gently massage their chest, just below their neck, after feeding.
@ScottSoCal thanks for the tip. They really seem to love contact and snuggles and being handled, so I'm sure they'll enjoy a post meal gentle massage.
