Sulawesi Knobbed Hornbill

I was not aware they had this species, with only 10 distributed among 5 institutions as of last year (according to https://www.zoochat.com/community/threads/asian-hornbills-in-north-america.468332/). They must be new arrivals, which makes me wonder which zoo lost them?

      Interesting, I wonder if this is Sacramento Zoo's? But why would Seaworld acquire them?

      @Great Argus Ya it seems a strange choice to send such a rare species in the US to SeaWorld of all places. I would guess Sacramento or the Safari Park, im visiting the latter tomorrow so il check.

      @DelacoursLangur I know the Safari Park has the species no longer on display for sure, the aviary had a Knobbed Hornbill icon over it on the map, but was occupied by Palm Nut Vulture. Considering the closeness of the safari park it would seem more logical distance-wise, but I don't know why they would send the birds there instead of a zoo like Omaha, Bronx, or Dallas...
