Caring Hornbills

It is a common knowledge that birds feed their young ones but hornbills are different!

At the feeding session in the KL Birds park we were excited to see the Great Hornbill perching on the tree top and catching the food thrown to him!

Then, to our amazement, it started feeding the bird which was inside the wooden box!

We thought it was feeding the young ones, because when the it gave the small piece of meat to the bird in the wooden box, it gave it back! But, the park incharge  told us that it was feeding his wife, and she is asking him to soften the meat before feeding her!

 

Later we managed to see the romantic couple:)

 

 

Presenting this post for World Bird Wednesday.

Super model - Hornbill

Vaguely I remember that an old renowned photographer praised nature as the best model. The reason is, neither does it fuss to give proper pose nor it demands to capture only the best, like most of us. I must add that this cute hornbill was a super model as well:)

I was just a few feet away and hence dint zoom!

Suspect that he was eyeing me cautiously!

Finally convinced that am no harm, hence came over the railing!

No complaints he was giving beautiful poses, until it was disturbed by excited children who rushed towards it!
