I pretty much take rescues from owners who either buy on impulse and then regret it, or take animals from rescue organizations. My dog and python were from organizations. The plea for rehoming the toucan came from a post on a bird keeping forum. He was sold as hand raised and when they got him home found he was completely wild and aggressive. I've had him about a year and a half. He won't get very tame but at least he's calmer, seems happy, and I don't demand that he be anything but himself. Yes, toucans are available for pets, but are extremely expensive if cb. Most species are listed on CITES so are not imported, but a couple still are including mine. CB toucans can cost anywhere from $3000 to $8000. If anyone wants more info about them go to http://www.emeraldforestbirds.com. I can't seem to attach pics to the forum, so I could send you one via my yahoo account if you like. Just email me if you'd like.
