LisaM Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Nice job Ian! The first was a Scarlet Chested Grass Parakeet (a.k.a. Splendid). I used to have two of these sweeties. The second pic is a Green Aracari (and I don't believe there is any retouching, but as it's not my pic I can't say for sure)! I fell in love with one at the Minnesota Zoo. Started researching and found that people actually have toucans, toucanettes and aracaris for companion birds. The large toucans require a ton of room (as in their own room). Some of the smaller aracaris would do fine in a cage the size we would use for a macaw, but they still do need a lot of out of cage time like our parrots. Totally different diets and such. Having one in my home is probably a pipedream, but that's what I once thought about parrots! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
