- Great Hornbill is a bird that is very spectacular, one of my favourite Thailand birds in fact. I found this Great Hornbill, Buceros bicornis, at Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand in the early morning as it was sunning itself before preening. In this video you can see this Great Hornbill bird taking preen oil from its preen gland to help in feather care and uses it as make up!

so beautiful
Thanks
Very interesting video! Please keep doing this awesome work.
Thank you. That means a lot.
Hello Nick,
You can see and film this big and beautiful bird in the wild is amazing.
Greetings Bert.
Great by name. Great by nature.
Hello Nick,never seen this bird before and you filmed him very well!! Thanks for the comment and the great shot!! Greetings Gijs
Hi Gijs, it is one of the best birds. What I did not capture is the amazing sound its wings make when it flies.
Beautiful bird! Amazing footage!!
One of the best of all birds in my opinion.
I won't forget the Great Hornbills I saw with Ralph and Nit. We showed them through the scope to several non-birders who got so excited to see them too. It was a wonderful birding moment. Thanks for the great video!
That is awesome, I really enjoy it when I can amaze non birders with a bird like this. I had a similar thing once at Kaeng Krachan showing some Thai tourists a Red-bearded Bee-eater. You should have seen theirreaction when they looked through the telescope. And really glad the Great Hornbill made a real impression on you.
So beautiful bird.
Fantastic film!
👍
Best wishes!
Thanks for watching, glad to bring this amazing bird to others.
What a sensational bird ! Thanks for the footage to show so much detail ...I can see the logic in the quotation but would go on to say "If you are tired of birds you re tired of life ".. The thought of a world minus any birds too awful to consider .Nice to see this watched twice 👍
You are right of course but what made me use the quote for this one was that a few years ago I was leading a birding tour and pointed out a Great Hornbill. The client told me he wasn't interested as he had seen one in India in 1975 !!!!!!
@@BirdingwithNick Love to have seen the clients face ..Actually that's what I was getting at . .Some see a bird .tick a box it's then no longer relevant . Even worse are those who label a bird , pest , cute , and other meaningless utterance .1st bird ever seen a sparrow .Still find them fascinating .Been around the world working and seen many species ( not as many as you )
and all I can say is all are amazing .( rather like your channel and 👏🏻quick response to a numbers dimwit )👍 The birds hero , Nick Upton
I hate it when they are labelled pests. People in UK are always moaning about gulls at the sea stealing their chips or ice cream and want them culled! So incredibly stupid.

Why does the bird have the orange cap?
The colour comes from the preen oil.
