Indonesian Hornbill or Red-knobbed Hornbill

Indonesian Hornbill or Red-knobbed Hornbill

The Knobbed Hornbill is about three feet tall and long; although with its tail, it is four to five feet long. The bird is easily sighted due to its distinctive facial colors and markings. Its body is relatively plain however, consisting of black feathers with some white feathers peeking out at the end of the bird's tail. Despite its brilliant appearance the bird is known to shy away from humans and likes to hide in tall trees.
