Well.. their faces aren’t that pretty… but at least the one has some nicely colored feathers. Not much hope for the hornbill in a “pretty bird” contest!

Reblogged this on dou dou birds and commented:
No, no, no… that is a beautiful face if I ever saw one!
Shame on you! Toucans are my favorites! He’s exceptionally beautiful through your lens, anyway!
The top one is pretty! I can look at bird photos all day. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Shutterdo, fine pictures … but the first two are of a toucan, only the last one is a hornbill. American toucans may look like African-Asian hornbills, but are not closely related.

Wonderful! Thanks for the info.. I missed the sign on the cage so wasn’t sure what type of bird it was. The Toucans are prettier! And much easier to get a picture of… those darn hornbills jumped all over the place. I took a dozen shoots and only this one was clear enough to keep!
