There's always a new scam somewhere. Beware. For those who don't know there are no toucans for sale in Australia. If there are, they would be a closely guarded secret, not for open sale and probably 10 times that price.

Is it a scam? Smugglers can be so dumb sometimes - the love of money is the root of all evil (my mother-inlaw is an exeption). let's hope it's true and legal one day.

It's complete and utter rubbish!
You cannot get these birds hand reared in USA, (where they're still rather uncommon), for such a low price.

I did hear a rumour early on in the year, that a pair of toucans had been siezed & where in the care of Taronga Zoo.

I must say it would be tempting.....

Go to a cyber cafe & give them a gmail account that was just opened......It would be interesting to see how far this would go...Any takers???
