Female Great Hornbill (Buceros bicornis)
© Lip Kee Yap
Botanic Garden, Singapore 7th. November 2005 Seen taking great care, choosing only the ripe fruits from a Sea Fig tree, Ficus superba. This is a much photographed escapee from the Jurong Bird Park. The tag on her right foot is the tell tale sign. Her large size indicates that she may have originally come from India as the Malaysian and Thai birds are generally smaller.
