toucan/softbill site, and possible remodel

[emeraldtoucan]

So, I have a website, I haven't updated it in a while, but I'm planning to remodel it (most likely including giving it a whole new layout, this was one of the first websites I built), and make it a bit more of a general softbill site. Right now the focus is almost completely on toucans, and especially toucanets. I know this is a global forum, so my chances of this happening might be a bit slim, but I need to find people whom have softbills that don't mind someone (that someone being me) stopping by to take pictures of them for the site (I live in Sonoma county CA). I want to create a huge softbill gallery.
I also need people whom would be willing to donate some articles, or perhaps do an interview (interviews can be done via email or PM). If you have a softbill article you think I should put up, or know of a good online resource I can also link to it.

The site is http://toucanets.com

Very nice looking so far, just took a look. I have a pair of red legged honeycreepers-Mr. Jeepers & Jada,an AS canary-Kismet, and my dear blue naped mousebird, Gryphon.

Hi...and welcome to the forum If you look at several of the posting in Softbill Circle they are postings about mousebirds. You are welcome to use any of my posted pixs (provided I have my copyright info on them) If you need more info you can click on my user ID and PM me.

Below my signature is a link to my online mousebird album.

Well, perhaps I'll have to work on getting a visitor's gallery going for softbills, that way people can submit any pics they want along with their name. I'll post again when I have such a thing designed.

Mystics Mom congrats on the aracari, there's some articles on feeding, and otherwise caring for toucans up on the articles section that you may be interested in.

The Toucanet's Roost - articles on toucans.

Including this one http://2candoit.us/Aracari%20Food%20Guide.pdf
which is specifically an aracari food guide, by Jason Crean, and others.

Some day I really do want to have mousebirds, and also honeycreepers too! If I had the space for several nice big aviaries I'd have sooo many different bird species, but for now that's a fantasy.

Hey there! I have a gren aracari! Great birds. They love papaya, grapes, pom seeds ( in season). Also love acai juice and yes, peas.
Try a variety of fruits as well.
These birds are WAY more intelligent than people think!
