Harness training toucan family?

[Small farm]

Has anybody harness trained your toucan, aracari, toucanet, or hornbill? Pics?

Just so that you know, I do not believe that there are any active members who own a species belonging to one of those groups.

I wouldn't recommend it. Not likely they will enjoy the restriction. They need to be allowed to fly..do not clip their wings.

Your bird is cute! Good job harness training! I don't see much of toucans or aracaris around AA.

It is a collared aracari.

Thanks! I've never seen a picture of such a bird. It's eyes are fascinating.
