"hey you want to hang out tonight?" "sorry I have to *oil my toucan* "

Not only the beak, but also the feathers and the attitude !! He looks so much better 😍

He really trusted you when you were sanding down his beak! So cute

“Why did this come up in my feed?” *watches the whole thing*

When I was 15, I adopted an Amazon who was already 10 years my senior. His poor beak was very much like Toupac's; overgrown, dry, dull, cracked and flaking. His previous owners loved him but had zero idea how to properly care for him so he spent 20 years in a cage too small, on a poor diet, heavy smoking environment, I don't think he was ever bathed. Couldn't really fly since his cage wasn't big enough to allow him to properly flap his wings so they atrophied. Most of his feathers were so ratty and thin, they looked like he had not had a proper moult in over a year. My Koko's beak flaked just like Toupac's, took no effort at all to chip away at the dead keratin. Even his poor little feet scales flaked. It took years for Koko to truly recover but he still could not ever fly properly. Seeing Toupac in his arrival condition hits so close to home, it's painful. I've been there and it's heartbreaking to see any animal in that condition. The improvement in Toupac's condition is like night and day. Good on you for all your hard work.

This is so wholesome when you think about it at its core: a larger being seeing to the well-being of a much smaller one outside of its own species simply out of compassion. I love it.

I've never seen a toucan's tongue before. It's so thin.

Me at 2 am: KZfaq: *Hey you wanna see a toucan get it’s beak repaired* Me: How tf do you repair a beak yes please

Am I the only one who never realized that toucan's tongues run the whole length of their beak? My mind is blown.

He's so beautiful! His beak looks shiny and clean and healthy!

I have a Toucan and this is a kinda hard video to watch. Knowing how bad the condition of his beak was before you got him. So glad you got him back to looking his best. Edit: Touka passed away 1 month ago. I forgot i had written this comment. He is in a better place now.

0:18 He's called tou-pac!? I'm not even mad, that's gold

He’s pretty affectionate towards you, I guess he appreciates all the time you put into restoring his beak, you’re a good man

He must feel so much more comfortable, poor bird was very neglected. Thank you for doing such a great job he looks so healthy and happy in your care.

What an amazing job you did buddy ❤️

You speak as if your efforts and ideas were/are something almost to be ashamed of, yet the results speak soundly for both the work done and your care for the animal in need.

I always said A clean beak Is a happy beak

I know we're looking at the beak, but can I just say, a toucan's eyelids are fascinating!? Makes me wonder if they're that way to make predators think that they're always awake, even when they're asleep?

welcome to PIMP MY TOUCAN!

Animal: Frick, I'm gonna die! Human: You are being rescued. Human: Please do not resist.

ripley would be proud of the way you cleaned up that beak. i always thought ripley was a bit o c d on beak cleaning but now we know why.

You know for a fact, after what you've done for him, you've built a bond that most people may never have with a Toucan. He probably trusts you without question! Excellent work!

This is officially the weirdest restoration video I ever seen.

*_There is nothing a little bit of coconut oil can't fix!_*

I love how there's a disclaimer "if you are the 0.001% of my audience that owns a Toucan, do not do what I did".

I want to see a list of Coconut Oil uses that is topped off with "restoring toucan beaks".

imagine someone asking what did You do over the weekend and Your answer is ... was sanding my Toucan.

When we raised canaries and cockatiels, we’d use vitamin E oil for their feet and beaks. Did wonders for their feet. Great job with him. Glad he’s in good hands now.

that's a tame bird to let you sit there and sand his face . Great work !

I flip , I flap My name is Toupac But more importantly I got my beak bacc ✴️

Watching this as though I'll ever need to apply this knowledge

The way he looks at you...he knows exactly what you've done for him and that you luv him.

"..But it's okay, because I'm here to help him" had me in tears man

I have a feeling that he's insanely grateful. All of that dead stuff had to have felt bad.

dude all you needed to do was get a pack of ramen, superglue, sandpaper and spraypaint.

that boi ashy just give em some lotion😂😂💯

His beak looks wonderful! There is a dramatic change in his overall health!! His feathers are shiny, his eyes are bright, he looks like a different bird. You have made a tremendous difference in his life! Good job!!!

5:40 “He’s looking more and more like an actual toucan and not dry little gremlin” I died laughing 😂

Rip Toupac, you did so much to help this boi and should be very proud

Omg i got so emotional i started crying.. i loved toucans as a kid because i had a little book with animal drawings and i always thought it was the most beautiful. I had completely forgotten it man thank you for this sweet memory and i got this video in my recomendation....❤❤

What if on the side of one of his perches you put a pole that is vertical with a stiff bristle brush on it so he could learn to rub his beak on it to clean it.

You can see how happy he is by the look in his eyes. He's a handsome boy who is well loved, and he knows it 💖

Idk how this toucan got on my feed, but I'm glad he is feeling better!

He's a handsome boy.

OK, I guess you're right to advocate extreme caution in following what you did - it was pretty experimental and instinctive on your part and possibly a bit risky. BUT - WOW - look at what you achieved. A total transformation from what was a sorry looking, dry and flaky bill to an almost pristine and undeniably BEAUTIFUL Toucan. You continue to work wonders, he looks and sounds very contented and happy. Let's face it, birds are never shy in telling you when they're pissed off!

Just watching you work with him, and the trust he has in you, is beautiful. Thank you again for rescuing this poor bird. His life has improved exponentially since you found each other.

Suddenly I'm craving Froot Loops.

I dont have a toucan, never thought of it, never concerned me. Your video popped into my feed but dude. Good job for using your brain, and helping your birdy!

He looks fantastic! It's amazing how just a little bit of care can make a huge difference.

How to repair a toucan. Fine grit sandpaper and coconut oil 😂😂😂

It's interesting, toucans move their head very slowly comparing to other birds.

Sandpaper isn't as outside the box as you think. I train falcons and sometimes they don't maintain their beak well enough. To keep them from getting overgrown we do something called coping. Using small files to shore their beak up reshape it and get it back to where it's supposed to be. The downside is falcons have to generally be manhandled to do this but are hooded to keep them calm as possible. There aren't hoods designed for parrots or toucans so probably not advised since parrots can also hold a grudge. It seems to have gone very well and he seemed quite cooperative. Great job!

I'm a simple kind if guy. I see a house banana, I hit like.

The dentist warned him to brush his beak and floss but he didn't listen. Now he knows better.

Shoulda used Flex Seal. Even works underwater!

Brock, Bless you and Dana and all the other people that care for and love all these amazing birds. I think we can all feel Toupac's confidence and happiness through the screen.

Thanks for doing what you do Brock. You gave this lovely bird a second chance. Glad to see he's better...your care and dedication to rehabilitating him back to health definitely shows. Keep it up!

"I've got beak all over my sofa" is not your everyday sentence LOL Also so cute how he kept looking at you and then rubbing his beak on the back of the sofa. I think he liked the sanding treatment!

Just watching the dryness and dead layers get rubbed off and moisturized was so satisfying..I know he was so thankful for your help ❤

Poor baby. U can see he was hurting. We r so happy to see him healthy now!

This is what rescuing is all about seeing the changes and the difference . The bonding of love and trust between each other😏😏 what a fulfillment🌷🌷

Just daily love and care can do wonders for a neglected animal. I'm so happy for you and the results of your efforts. I can only imagine how happy Toupac is to be in such better shape.

Toucans have really expressive, inquisitive eyes. Love that about them 💚💙💜🧡❤️💛

Friend: hey what’s that powdery stuff in your couch Him: OH ITS JUST MY TOUCANS BEAK POWDER Friend: ok

** BEAKING NEWS ** Toupac's bill has been restored!

I don’t know why everyone is teasing this guy about saving this birds life. So he spends all his time healing his Toucan. I think it’s wonderful that he has so Much love for these pets. He is a blessing to these babies and look how wonderful they look.

R.I.P Toupac,he was a very good bird and Brock took very good care of him,I hope he doesn't have to suffer anymore.

He is looking very healthy and happy! Wonderful job and looking forward to meeting a new baby birbie ❤️🇨🇦

Toupac looks wonderful, you've done a tremendous job with him!! And the brief shot of him yawning is just adorable!!

You’re so gentle with him it’s so sweet!!

He just sat there & let you sand his beak! That's trust! ❤

Woah! That's a lot of work my dude! I just sent you $20, because why not! 😊👍

before: -ouch this is cracked- after: *happy healthy boi*

You did right by this beautiful bird. RIP Toupac, you were loved by many

This channel alone keeps me from being depressed during quarentine

You did a fabulous job on his beak, Im sure he really appreciated the help. That had to be a lot of work scrubbing it. Reminds me more of our feet then nails when we get build up of dead skin around the sides and heals. Same thing though, just not as hard a surface. Those flakes were huge! wow. Eagerly awaiting for the big reveal! I was just thinking about that and wondering when that was.

Who else cried when the video of Ripley showed up 🙋🏼‍♀️

Flying banana is now happy... Thanks a lot man, you are a saint!

I love when people rescue animals and actually help them. I've always wanted a bird but I've never had the money to afford one or the resources to get one. So I just live through videos. He looks happy. Looks like your happy. Good pair.

Such a beautiful boy and you are both so lucky to have each other

He's a very handsome bird. I love seeing the progress you've made with him. And he seems to be very grateful to you for all the help. Keep up the good work. :)

I had the exact same thought of using sandpaper to treat him when i got to know how they take care of their beak and how toupac cant.. The finer the grit the better!! Experience and common sense

not sure how this came up in my recommendations but you did such a great job restoring Toupac's beak! the before and after had my jaw dropping, the difference was outstanding and he looks so much better now! also i love that you named this toucan, Toupac - absolutely brilliant

toupacs beak looks awesome good job you done x

He looks so much happier! Also I had no clue their tongue looked like that. Like a long noodle.

What a beautiful boy! Tnank you for sharing him with us.

Toucans and Cars, No worries. That will buff out.

Lemme fix the title for you. Repairing a Rescued Flying banana's insanely damaged Giant beak

Thank you for explaining the process and how the inability to use his feet affected how he cares for himself! ❤️

I use coconut oil on my African grey and macaw. When I got my macaw his beak was cracked and in some places bloody, he was from a neglectful home. We got him from a shelter that didn’t know how to care for birds. He’s beautiful now!!

man i miss ripley but its amazing seeing toupac become healthier

Yeah! The baby is coming! Can’t wait! 💙💗

Its amazing how quickly he bonded to you!

Clean nose, clean beak, legs getting care, food and affection, he is well on the path to be living better.

I think it's really sweet and cool you take care of your buddy like that to make sure he's not only healthy but looking fresh too

It is amazing what you have done for this bird. This bird was in such poor condition and it is no wonder his mate died under the conditions he and his mate were living under. You are healing him both physically and emotionally. I think everyone that follows your channel is so grateful for what you have done for this bird. PS I would love an actual picture of Toupac on a shirt. I would definitely buy that. I like the cool art you had done of him; but, I would love an actual picture of him. You can be so proud of what you have accomplished for this bird in a short time.

I think he enjoyed the sanding, lol. He looks great. Handsome bird.

What a beautiful animal! He's deserves all the attention and care you give him!

Thank you for helping this toucan. I lost my partner 2 years ago and we loved Toucans we always had the saying "I can you can one can Toucan" we were crafters and we always wanted to have a toucan but were never able to afford one. So again thank you for caring for him and making this video.
