      Nice picture, one of the Hornbill-species I've seen sofar never alive.

      I didnĀ“t even know about this specie, it looks nice; how big was their enclosure?
    • devilfish
      The enclosure was the same size as those for the other smaller hornbills. Attached is a photo of this aviary with the pied hornbills' aviary next to it.

      That's a crap aviary for a hornbill that size. And with the nestbox up so high - do they think they're helicopters?
    • devilfish
      I agree that they're very poor. I don't think the brown hornbills even had a nestbox. Food trays and water are on the ground.

      Pata zoo is on the top two floors of a department store/mall. The upper floor is mostly outdoors, and the lower floor is indoors. The enclosures of the lower floor, with exceptions (large monitors, some turtles, amphibians & snakes in small vivs, hedgehog & owl enclosures, small indoor aviary...) would be deemed acceptable in most zoos, and would hardly receive a second glance were they in reasonable zoos in the west.

      The upper floor, however (which includes the hornbills, primates, cats, small rare birds, parrots, jackals...) does not have a single decent enclosure in the entire space, and many of them are very saddening. The walkthrough aviary on that floor looks reasonable but was closed.

      They probably keep together two different species in this cage: Anorrhinus tickelli and Anorrhinus austeni
