Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Ping: Britta (OT)
Ok this is way off topic. Seven year old grandson went to the local zoo and is doing a project on something he saw. He selected the Great Hornbill. Now I know you are quite a photographer, and that they are in some of the places you have visited. Do you by any remote chance have any picture of them on line? Or that you could email to jofirey at sbcbell dot net ? We found some online, but I thought maybe you had some as well. If you haven't already left on you latest trek. If you have, I hope you are having a wonderful time. Jo > Ok this is way off topic. Seven year old grandson went to the local > zoo and is doing a project on something he saw.

I'm very bad with birds. Sorry but I definitely don't have any pics of that. If you can tell me a bit more about them, I'll keep my eyes out in the future! Good luck to your grandson on his project. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >> Ok this is way off topic.

I can't remember now the area but would think it would be southwest Thailand. They are black with a huge yellow beak. And at six and a half pounds I'm guessing that is one big bird.

Never seen too many birds of any kind in Thailand. Either they are all endangered or they stay well hidden! I looked at the pics that Magic posted and they are gorgeous, so I'll have to keep my eye out because I would love to see one. I love Australia where you can see so many exotic looking birds in the trees. Unfortunately, Thailand is rather barren when it comes to that :-( I'm not surprised though because the locals tend to shoot into the trees at birds. I've seen it on all the elephant treks I've ever been on. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >>>> Ok this is way off topic.

We've seen monitor lizards and monkeys but no bird life. I'll have to remember this site for something different to do the next time we go down south. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Ok this is way off topic.
