I hate being that person but have you done your research? Parrots at minimum are extremely difficult animals to care for with very particular and expensive needs. Toucans are widely considered to be much harder, more specialized and most importantly have a stricter nutrient need, especially when they are young, to keep them alive and healthy for any length of time. Have you done all of the research to supplement their diet with the proper additions that many scientists argue over to this day? Do you have zookeepers available or specialized vets who will know what their needs are and can advise you when you mess up?

Please do not consider a toucan. Toucans have literal horror stories attached to them. There is a man on youtube who is learning all he can to specialize in toucan care and he explicitly is against the idea of them being kept as pets because the science is not fully clear nor developed on what nutrients at a young age allow them to thrive. The goon I remember who had a toucan years ago did the very best they could but eventually rehomed their bird.

Please reconsider.
