I love the hornbill for being the subject of art of the young, reborn in the heart of the new generation.

I love the hornbill for its colorful plumage, prominent in the distance,
breaking the monotony of green foliage;
I love the hornbill for its huge bill from which it got its name - tough,
powerful, bright red with yellow and green;
I love the hornbill for its thunderous, resonating call, vibrating through
the forest, echoing on cliffs and giant trees;
I love the hornbill for its gregarious nature, faithful to its family and clan,
protective of its kind, and niche its home;
I love the hornbill for being a guardian of the forest, sentinel at all times,
and early rouser each day;
I love the hornbill for its presence - ultimate reference of an unspoiled
landscape spared from human;
I love the hornbill for being the subject of art of the young, reborn
in the heart of the new generation. ~
