Sunda Wrinkled Hornbill (Rhabdotorrhinus corrugatus)

This small oil painting shows a pair of Sunda Wrinkled Horbills, native to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. I have put the female in front of the male, easily distinguished by his garish colouring. The “wrinkled” in the name refers to a variable degree of corrugation (as reflected in the scientific name) in the beak and the “casque”, a variably shaped segment on top of, and part of, the large beak.

I used to know a museum ornithologist who became somewhat obsessed with the fact that the colouring in birds could not be objectively determined, thus measured, since it was significantly influenced by external factors, such as the dirt, pollen, dust and other impurities live birds experienced. Thus he ordered museum preparators to rigorously wash the plumage of the specimens they prepared with the results that they became more brightly coloured than their wild kin, but quite unnatural looking. I mention this because I wonder what he’d make of the “white” tips of the tail feathers of the Sunda Wrinkled Hornbill which become stained, through preening, with natural body oils, this often a lovely golden-buff colour, as I showed in my painting. The oil-producing uropygial gland is at the base of the tail and I once painted an African species of hornbill, the Silver-cheeked, preening that gland, very prominent in hornbills:

 The Sunda Wrinkled Hornbill is monogamous, mates for life and in classic hornbill fashion the female seals herself into a cavity in a tree with mud and excreta, leaving a slit through which the male can feed her and her chicks until they are old enough to break out and enter the tropical forests which provides the fruit and small animals that constitute their diet.  Those forests are sadly being cut away for timber profits or to make room for palm oil and other crops, with the result that this beautiful, fascinating bird is now an endangered species. The painting is 12 X 16 inches in oils on compressed hardboard.

Whilst these guys look like toucans because of their bright coloured beak, they share exactly zero relation, they’re actually found opposite sides of the globe!

Wrinkled Hornbill

Burgers’ Zoo, Arnhem

These majestic birds are endangered in their native habitat in the Thai-Malay peninsula due to deforestation. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, which also serve as their water intake.

Next one of the collages of birds from Cotswolds Wildlife Park. 😀  I also wanted to upload a photo of the IUCN Red List for information's sake. The penguin breed is Humboldt Penguins - I couldn't get a good enough picture of the board as there were a lot of people in front of them.  My favourites ones here were the wrinkled hornbill and the tawny frogmouth (who I SWEAR is Grumpy Cat reincarnated as a bird. 🤣 ) When it comes to the Temminck's Tragopan, that was a bird we sadly couldn't see even though I was looking hard, but I wanted to take a picture of the board as I think they look very unique and I hadn’t heard of the bird before taking this photo. 😃

Bronx Zoo, New York City (No.8)

The kea is a species of large parrot in the family Nestoridae found in the forested and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. About 48 cm (19 in) long, it is mostly olive-green with a brilliant orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak. The kea is the world's only alpine parrot. Its omnivorous diet includes carrion, but consists mainly of roots, leaves, berries, nectar, and insects. Now uncommon, the kea was once killed for bounty due to concerns by the sheep-farming community that it attacked livestock, especially sheep. In 1986, it received full protection under the Wildlife Act. 

The kea nests in burrows or crevices among the roots of trees. Kea are known for their intelligence and curiosity,  both vital to their survival in a harsh mountain environment. Kea can solve logical puzzles, such as pushing and pulling things in a certain order to get to food, and will work together to achieve a certain objective. They have been filmed preparing and using tools.
