      Thanks @vogelcommando! :)

      I was hoping to get the eyes of both birds visible, but couldn't quite get the angles right (without getting my own reflection in shot); however, I think it still works ok with just the bills visible.

      What is their history with the species?
      Have they ever bred them?

      Blyth's Hornbill......

      I'm fairly sure Thrigby Hall have never bred them. Paignton and Newquay Zoos both have, from the same pair of birds at both places. They are currently at Newquay.
