Yellow-Billed Hornbill
The Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill is a Hornbill found in southern Africa. It is a medium sized bird, with length between 48 to 60 cm, characterized by a long yellow beak with a casque. The skin around the eyes and in the malar stripe is pinkish. Wikipedia
These are weird birds which come up and peck on the cars hubcaps or on the cars exterior mirrors. Hope that you enjoy from the African bush veld as much as I do. Brian

It looks like something from a Disney movie.

I agree they are wonderfully weird birds. At the safari camps I stayed at they became habituated to humans making it easy to get close ups. I got some good ones of 2 of them helping themselves to breakfast at our boma.
Shaka, I went on your website and thoroughly enjoyed your African photos!

Thank you melequus, they are delightful birds once they become habituated to humans. I was in the Botswana bush where they are still shy of humans and therefore not that easy to photograph. This one was the best I could do. Thank you for looking at my website. I hope to update it over the next few weeks with new photos from my most recent trip. Brian :-D
