About a month ago, these three young toucans were decommissioned from Minae, our Fish and Wildlife, they had recently been stolen from the nest and were being kept poorly in small canary cages...yes, canary cages.

He goes over to our farm, then on to the papaya plantation! Please help us support these guys with a donation using Pay Pal on our website!! http://www.toucanrescueranch.com/
