hornbill aviaries

The former monkey cages, now planted up and housing breeding (or potential breeding) pairs of Asian hornbill species.

Read about my visit here: http://www.zoochat.com/249/zoo-negara-visit-15-dec-2013-a-348984/
Ab fab that these old primate enclosures have been updated for hornbills.
I would eventually hope a return of primates (notably Colobinae) back into Zoo Negara ..., in open-topped enclosures and holding the diversity of S.E. Asian primates.

Incidentally: which species of hornbill(s) are housed in these?
Oriental pied, greater, rhinoceros ...?

arrg, I knew someone was going to ask that and I didn't take notes apparently. Perhaps devilfish can answer it. I know there were Oriental pied, several pairs of rhinoceros, white-crowned, and wreathed (or wrinkled?). All in pairs. Perhaps great and rufous-necked as well?
