We ended up bonding and before I knew it, I was researching everything possible about owning a pet toucan so I could incorporate him into my life. On May 31, 2021, I officially adopted Chester and ...
At 30–40 cm. (12–16 in) long and weighing 110–160 grams (3.9–5.7 oz.), it is the smallest aracari in its range, [3] [4] and among the smallest members of the toucan family. Taxonomy and systematics
It is a relatively long-tailed toucan with a total length of 35–40 cm (14–16 in). As suggested by its common name , it is, uniquely among toucans, overall saffron yellow. The back and tail are darker, more olive in color.
The chestnut-mandibled toucan is a resident breeder in moist lowland forest. The 2–4 white eggs are laid in an unlined cavity high in a decayed section of a living tree, or occasionally in an old woodpecker nest in a dead tree. Both sexes incubate the eggs for at 14–15 days, and the toucan chicks remain in the nest after hatching.
Like other toucans, the collared aracari is brightly marked and has a large bill. Adults are 38 to 41 cm (15 to 16 in) long and weigh 175 to 250 g (6.2 to 8.8 oz). Males and females have the same coloration of the bill and plumage but the female's bill is shorter than the male's. The three subspecies' bills are alike.
The largest known birds whose nests are predated upon by the toco toucan are the hyacinth macaw and buff-necked ibis; the nestlings of the latter weigh 200–300 g (7.1–10.6 oz), compared to the toucan's body mass of around 540 g (19 oz), and are killed by breaking their necks with sideways movements of the toucan's beak.

The toucan was beaten by youths, and its top beak broke off. [1] Government officials transported the bird to the animal rescue center Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center (formerly Rescate Animal Zoo Ave), west of the city of Alajuela. [2] A few 3D printing companies joined efforts to create a prosthetic beak which was successfully attached to Grecia.
