Pico

[keepsmiling]

Pico landed in my life on Thursday. He is a wonderful bird!
He joined our flock quite unexpectedly, as his previous home could no longer keep him due to their child's severe allergies. He will be greatly missed by them I know.

Oh wow! He looks amazing!

I hear they are crazy hard to look after though. Best of luck!

Thank you. Not hard to care for, just really should have someone home in the day, and lots of room.

OMG! He is SO CUTE! I have always admired them. He is absolutely beautiful. Please give us updates on his personality, I've often wondered about them.

 

[Lovelyloribeth]

Ohhh yes!! POTD!

He's gorgeous!! What is he exactly? I know a toucan of sorts. At least I think so anyway.

 

[Pookamama]

Ahhh, he's adorable!!!
I can't believe how big the beak is compared to the body!

 

[PortaPerch]

What a beauty! Just looked them up on wiki: Green Aracari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and it's great to see they're in the Least Concerned category. It makes no mention of their speaking ability.

I was surprised at their light weight. The beak must be really light.

Thank you all for the kind words! I just got word that Pico's dbl flight has shipped! I am excited and anxious to give him his new home with more space. Yesterday we celebrated his 3rd, and Jewels' first hatchday.

I gave his dble flight to a little black capped conure that showed up in my tree, and Pico got this SS EH cage


Pico loves to try and get in my shirt!
