Great Pied Hornbill (Buceros bicornis)

Wings of the World Presentation | 12 April 2025
1.1 Great Pied Hornbills "Sunny" and "Vicky" are featured in the show, but their roles are reversed. The presenters introduce Sunny as Vicky as he has been trained to enter the nest (as a female would), while Vicky is introduced as Sunny and plays the role of the male feeding the female. The one in your picture is Vicky.

"Pepper" the female Papuan Hornbill occasionally appears in place of (the real) Sunny.
