Ripley The Toucan Thinks She’s A Lap Dog, Her Cuddles Are Too Cute To Bear!

Ripley is a 9-month-old Toco Toucan who may or may not be having an identity crisis. The adorable little lady plays fetch and is always down for cuddles… I had no idea birds could be so affectionate!

Ripley’s owners, Brock and Lena Miculek Afentul of Louisiana have been loving on her since she was a little ball of feathers.

“We got Ripley from a zoo about a year and a half ago when she was around 3 months old. We got in contact with the breeder and had to wait until she had hatched and was able to eat on her own before she could be shipped to us via airline,” Brock told Mashable in an email. “When we got her she was just a little ball of black and white fluff with a short little yellow bill but she grew up quickly!”

Meet Ripley. She loves to play fetch…
