Great Hornbill

The Great Hornbill adult male has predominantly black plumage with a white neck and abdomen, the pale feathers often stained yellow by preen oil. Its back is solid black, while broad white bands mark the wings and a broad black band crosses the white tail near its tip. A prominent yellow-and-black casque rises above the large yellow bill; both are keratin-covered structures rather than feathers.
