Mark, I have a soucre for Tucan. A friend of mine is selling birds and feathers for flytying. He has 2 kinds of Tucan, i do'nt know if it is the one that you need. He also have some substitutes for some of the more expencive birds, and they look very good. You can see his catalog here : www.flytying.dk (click on English and then on catalog(it opends as a .pdf file)) And you can see the ssubs here : http://www.flytying.dk/substitutes.htm
