Description
I got a chance to get really close to this glorious guy after the Wings of Wonder bird show at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. The rhinoceros hornbill is named for the rhino horn-shaped casque on its beak, which may be used in fighting, to amplify its calls, for courtship displays, or just to knock down fruit for eating. Hornbills have very interesting nesting habits.
I hope you like the vivid colors as much as I do!

The bird chapter was my favorite part of Animal Science. Just look at this guy! There are so many interesting birds out there! Also, random thought, not about the Rhinoceros Hornbill, my great grandmother had a Scarlet Machaw that lived nearly as long as she did. While I don't agree with keeping birds as pets, they were inseparable. He knew how to use the toilet, he was so smart.
