Revisiting a hornbill





I don't have much more to add to this, really. I believe this individual, with so much more white, is a female. I like these guys. They make an owl-like hooting sound, and are more gentle than the great Indian hornbills, from what I can tell. I like their Rod Stewart hairdos.

Edit: I am wrong. It is the male that has so much more white.

Yeah, I think Guy has more crest too. They are very gentle. Guy used to take raisins out my hand without even touching. He was in the Muntjac exhibit in CZ and would wait by the door for us to enter (a perch to the side of the door especially for him), and shake his head waiting for us to throw his mouse for him to catch.

I really miss him the most out of animals that have moved to other areas.
