Nosy guy

You don't want this hornie birdie nosing around your stuff.

Hornbills are a large group of birds found in Africa, South America and Asia. Some of them are threatened, and some, like this one from Central Africa are quite common. It gets up to 70 cm long.

Boom-box-bird

The casque, on top of the beak, are used to increase resonance for calls and sounds. Yeah, a built in boom-box speaker. The casque is also used for fighting, hunting, digging and nest-building.

So, noise and tools. I have had roommates like that.

This is a Black-and-white-casqued hornbill (Bycanistes subcylindricus), aka grey-cheeked hornbill.

Silvery-cheeked hornbill’s show. It is a game in which a thrown grape is caught in the air.

He is very good for it.

Yup… that’s a dinosaur. The Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis) uses its immense beak to dine on a variety of snacks, including fruit, insects, bats, and even smaller birds. It’s found in parts of eastern Africa, including Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. Like other hornbills, its beak is topped with a helmet-like structure called a casque which helps amplify its barking calls. This casque is made of keratin, which is the same protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails!

初めてみるサイチョウ！ここはオオサイチョウもツノもギンガオもミナミジもいてすごい

鳥インフルエンザの影響であまり見られないようになってますが、、

早くこの病気が終息することを祈っています。

@埼玉県こども動物自然公園

It was my first time seeing this species of hornbill. They have red faces around their eyes.

There are also ‘Great hornbill’, ‘Rhinoceros’, ‘Silvery-cheeked’, and ‘Southern Ground’ here. It was so great!

But due to bird flu we can’t watch all of the wonderful bird’s house right now.

I pray that this disease will end soon.
