Grooming time for the Wreathed Hornbill. That nape feather in dark brick red looks stunning, great contrast for its white neck and yellow gular sac.
If you have to ask me what birds should be the icon of Indonesia, hornbills and birds-of-paradise are my picks. Pictured here are 3 Wreathed Hornbills (Rhyticeros undulatus)🪶
