A Pair Of Helmeted Hornbills

A pair of Helmeted Hornbills, one of Malaysia’s largest hornbill species, prefer the primary rainforests. These forests, with their towering old-growth trees, provide the ideal high-nesting cavities for these magnificent birds.

World Hornbills and Malaysian Hornbills

Hornbills are easily recognised by their striking, long, down-curved beak, crowned with a unique casque. These diurnal birds greet the day at dawn, often emerging from their roosts to preen and call out to one another before setting off to forage. Early mornings offer the best opportunity to spot them, as most Asian hornbills are particularly vocal during this lively time.
