Juvenile Oriental Pied Hornbill




These pictures shown here are the Juvenile Oriental Pied Hornbill (last October's batch). It is a species of hornbill in the Bucerotidae family. The natural of its habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The Juvenile Oriental Pied Hornbill in Pulau Ubin is the only wild population of Oriental Pied Hornbill in Singapore. To spot the Juvenile Oriental Pied Hornbill is simple; you just need a pair of sharp ears. Its raucous cackling will help you know its presence. These birds are rather shy, so if you want to take a good photo, keep the noise level as low as possible.
