Has there been much success breeding recently with Toucans? I know London had 2 Tocos recently and that Leeds Castle have had success with Channel Billed but what about Red Billeds or the smaller species?

Leeds Castle definitely bred Tocos in the past. Possibly Harewood, Lotherton or Paradise Park (Hayle) have bred toucans also?
 
We bred Green Aracaris several years ago at Bristol Zoo. Unfortunately teo of the three chicks were abandoned after the first fledged and did not survive. We don't keep any toucans anymore though unfortunately.
 
Ocean World Rhyl,which is now sadly closed bred Toco Toucans back in the late 1980`s and may also have bred Keel-billed Toucan but not sure on that one.
 
Ocean World, Ryl, was just pipped in the same year (1981 I think) to the UK first-breeding of Toco Tucans by Linton Zoo
 
Chester zoo bred Channel billed toucans

Amazon world bred any species?
