How to grow tukan

We present to your attention a video structure for the cultivation of a nosed bird-tukan from the egg to an adult state.

Therefore, in the wild in the first two or three months of life, they at all do not leave the nest. When Tucanians live in captivity, they love to communicate with a person (and in general behave like cats!) However, imitate human speech are not capable. But in the jungle they not only love to sing, but also perfectly parody the voices of other feathered fellow. Tukanans are found in rainforest from South Mexico to Northern Argentina.
