thanks guys thanks for th comments ''Lori.tas'' this bird is verry weak we took the decisions to bring some vetenary surgents and some bird experts here in sri lanka to help this bird ''hornbill''Still in Captivity and verry weak we have to wait a nather one week or two week to get this bird in to top flight condition
GOOD WORK!
This bird is clearly lucky to have been rescued. It's hard to imagine such a massive bird would survive long, or be at all healthy, in captivity.
