Oriental Pied-Hornbill

The oriental pied hornbill is a medium-sized, canopy-dwelling frugivore with a head-to-tail length of 55–60cm and the largest distribution in its genus, in the Indian subcontinent and throughout South-east Asia. The bill measures 19cm in males and 16cm in females. The head, neck, back, wings and upper breast are black with a slight green sheen, and the tail is black with white tips on all but the central feathers (Wikipedia, general species account).

The diet consists of wild fruits such as figs, berries, rambutans, palm fruit and papaya, along with insects, shellfish, small reptiles and small mammals and birds including their eggs. Calls are described as crow-like, braying, or harsh crackles and screeches (Wikipedia, general species account).
