Oriental Pied Hornbill
Small (75 cm), black and white hornbill with
a large yellow-white casque. Plumage black except for a white patch under the
eye, white lower belly, thighs, and undertail coverts, white tips to flight
feathers and white outer tail feathers.
Iris-dark brown; naked skin around eye and gular skin-white; bill and casque yellow-white with black spots on base of lower mandible and front of casque; feet-black.
A conspicuous bird of lowland primary and secondary forests. It prefer more open habitat such as coastal and forest edge, clearings and secondary forest than other hornbills. Found in pairs or noisy parties, flapping or gliding from tree to tree.is omnivorous, taking fruit, fish and small mammals. Figs form an important part of their diet and contribute to 60% of their diet from May to February, the non-breeding season and during breeding (March to April) up to 75% of the fruits delivered at the nest were figs. I have sighting in Kuantan Cherating beach, Bkt Rengit,Bidor and very common in Pulau Pangkor.
