Hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly colored and sometimes has a casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, “buceros” being “cow horn” in Greek. In addition, they possess a two-lobed kidney. Hornbills are the only birds in which the first two neck vertebrae (the axis and atlas) are fused together; this probably provides a more stable platform for carrying the bill. The family is omnivorous, feeding on fruit and small animals. They are monogamous breeders nesting in natural cavities in trees and sometimes cliffs. A number of species of hornbill are threatened with extinction, mostly insular species with small ranges. (Wikipedia with editing)

Come to think of it, I can’t figure out how ANYBODY can watch birds and think they were NOT designed by a Master Designer.

That’s too bad. I actually enjoy flying, and since it’s the least expensive and least tiring way to get to see relatives, I’m not happy about the current situation. I think God gave us birds so we would think up the idea of flying. ;) At the moment, I’m getting all the birds I need, and I’m catching up with things at home, like my web sites. I like your creation links, by the way. I think you got just about all of them, that I know about anyway. I’ve got a few birds I can’t identify. One is from South America. Are you familiar?

Pat, you forgot #3, for me at least, I’m not wild about flying anyway. I save that for the birdies.

Sounds like you will have to have adventures there and I’ll try to keep sharing mines for you to enjoy. :)

Lee, thanks for the response, and I apologize for the delay. I have certainly heard of an airplane. However, I cannot currently fly. 1. theTSA in the US is currently molesting passengers and forcing them to undergo harmful X-rays. I will not fly until this is stopped. 2. I cannot afford to pay for a ticket or for the cost of travel in general, anyway.

Wish I could come go on one of your adventures. I like the Christian perspective, and you seem to have some pretty spectacular birds. I live in Arizona. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Pat, Have you ever heard of an airplane? Come on out and join going on an adventure. Personally, I would love to come see some of your neat birds in Arizona. Thankfully, the Lord dispensed the birds around so we all get to see some of His spectacularly created birds.
