Close Encounter with Giant Hornbills in Pangkor

Get ready for a close interaction with the very curious hornbills in Teluk Nipah in Pangkor, Malaysia. You can book a regular meeting with them as they appear on daily basis and without any doubt look so impressive to form never-ending impressions on your mind. You may get astonished to see their large size, with a length of about 120 cm totally dumbfounds you. The male Hornbill with red eye and female with white eye look so weird with a yellow slash in their wings and a big yellow bill, amusingly, are often heard before they become the apple of your eyes. However, enjoy the whoosh, whoosh, sound of their wings when flapping and the shhhhhhh sound when the wings are gliding. For your kind information, note that these Hornbills are originally from Sarawak, and are very shy to face you. So its better for you to stay at Tiger Rock and laud their exceptional behavior or spot them during evenings. As far as their eating habits are concerned, all Hornbills are great fruit eaters and also prefer to consume reptiles or insects. Their feeding normally begins at 6:30 pm on Pangkor Island is finished by 7:00pm. Each evening in Teluk Nipah, the indigenous birds stand in line the main street waiting to be presented dinner. It is the duty of the male member to arrange food for his mates and other chicks as the females stay inside the nest. However, they like to hop down to an edge for a direct banana toss-and-catch approach and hence enjoy their meal hiding themselves from the eyes of biawak who is a good climber.
