Frontside at the top, backside at the bottom. Visitors can take one of these from a tray at the entrance then leave in another tray at the passage to the next section of the tropical hall. See comments below for species list.
According to this identification card the following species are kept in the Philippines section of the tropical hall at Avifauna:
In a separate aviary near the entrance:
- Northern or Luzon rufous hornbill (Buceros hydrocorax hydrocorax)
- Red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus)
Free-ranging in the section:

In a separate aviary about midway through the section:
- Visayan tarictic hornbill (Penelopides panini panini)

I must not have done very well and/or have been unlucky during my visit since I didn't see even half of these species. I saw a few of the rarer species on this list, but also missed several.
