What a great bird! It looks like a piece of animated machinery. The bokeh works really well with the black and orange feathers and the "see-through" beak.

thank you all so very much for all of your wonderful comments...Zoo Atlanta’s ground hornbills, Gumby and Zazu, are extremely popular among visitors for their delight in parading back and forth and proudly displaying bits of their dinner. In the wild in Africa, ground hornbills feed on invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. These birds are extremely intelligent and inquisitive and will often cooperate with each other to achieve a common goal; keepers have to work hard to keep their brains oc
