Tickell's Brown Hornbill, Rusty-cheeked Hornbill, Assam Brown-backed Hornbill (female)

Anorrhinus tickelli

Notes:

I thank the staff of Fisheries Dept. Aquarium at Neyyar Dam for showing me this nesting site near their entrance. They claimed there is a bird nest and chicks inside the tree which I saw through the small crack (the first 3 pictures) and I waited hours to catch the parent bird. :))
