Hi Amalan,

As far as it is possible to be certain about these things, there are no toucans in Australia, but there have been rumours from time to time, none of which have been substantiated so far.

You'd also be amazed at how many people confuse toucans with macaws- many can't even tell the difference between a yellow budgie and a canary, let alone distinguishing between multi-coloured birds.

They are sometimes advertised on the pet link type pages ...Toucans or Toucan eggs , all scams .

As well as the toucans, the other thing that surprised me with the article in the Telegraph was that they stated that the bloke had over 2,000 pigeons. That would have to be the biggest pigeon loft in the world.

They are such active, vibrant birds.
