Red-billed hornbill and chicks

Tocus erythrorhynchus

Description:

This hornbill had carved out a nest in a wooden structure in the grounds of a hotel. It was quite unconcerned about people as it flew back and forth feeding the chicks who's beaks could be seen to get bigger by the day, so obviously was doing well. Unfortunately we had to leave before they fledged.

Habitat:

Wooden open shed over an outside pool table in hotel grounds.
