Glad to see an animal person after my own heart jumping in, I have three dogs, my fish, and a horse

I'm far from any updates lol. I havent even moved yet. Just window shopping for tanks at the moment. Thinking of a Glass cages 6ft tank as a peninsula or a 48x48 cube depending on how the basement layout turns out. Dont you worry, I've been planning nonstop whether it's the fish, coral, invert, hardware, etc. I've got lists for all!

I've only had her for 3 months. Shes about 3-5 yrs old. Average keel billed toucan lives 20-25 years in captivity so we've got a lot of partying left! Shes very friendly. She lives in the main family room so she is used to dogs, cats, and toddlers.
Interesting question about the diet because it's very specific. Toucans are prone to Hemochromatosis which is an iron storage disease that can affect all organs, but mostly the liver. This is why they require a specific low iron pellet from Mazuri. The other 50% is fresh fruit. The fruit cocktail is 50% papaya, 25% mango, then last 25% gala apples, peaches, nectarines, bananas. Treats are blueberries. She loves them! I'll have to post a pic of the trick I taught her to catch blueberries from across the living room.
