hinocerous Hornbill fact sheet at the aviary.
hinocerous Hornbill at the aviary outside of Lories and friends exhibit had a very powerful loud sound.
To go to lories and friends feeding, we had to pass through Tropical reinforces tanned once agin the birds there were captivating like this one
This brilliantly colored fairy blue bird decked in an impeccable combination of metallic blue and black and that gleamed differently at different angles, was so elusive and shy that it would hardly appear out of the bushes and if it did to pick something from the food tray, it would disappear within a couple seconds before I could focus the camera.
THe victoria crowned pigeon at the Tropical rainforest was Nish and Rishma's top choice as it was flightless and they could annoy it. 2 pm May 26 2013

Nishka enjoys feeding lories and friends. Rishma however could not because before she got her turn, one of the lories flying around pooped on Rishma's head and she started crying
Lories so hungry for the nectar during the 2-2:30 feeding time that they even turn upside down to take a sip from Nishka's cup
The phosphorescently colored lories are one of the reasons we wish nobody suffered from color blindness May 26 2013 2:30 PM
